Last Friday

Dooesn't my ingenuity with post titles just make you want to cry?

Once again uploading pictures. I found the multiple upload option but that doesn't make the connection faster. So I may stop at 150 soon as it's already after 1 p.m. and other business awaits.

Yesterday was an all-day trip to Colonia, an old and picturesque city in Uruguay. Three hours of boat ride to arrive was lovely and great for getting burned. Colonia is pretty, as you'll see from a few pictures later on. The best part is crossing the main street, Flores, where the vehicles stop for pedestrians! Even around 6 p.m. there wasn't much traffic. Of course, this was in the old center of town, not the modern.

Today is a little rest before the last big rush. Saturday is all-day decorating for a wedding and the ceremony and party at 8 p.m. Sunday will doubtless be sleeping and a little packing. Monday will be last packing, changing pesos to dollars - at least enough to have the $20 required to leave let me leave the country. There's something about these Latin American countries wanting to hang on to everybody, or at least hang on to their money. Leaving Uruguay cost 5 pesos and I believe some missionary friends had to pay each time they left Haiti.

Then at 4:30 p.m. (1:30 Central, I think) we leave for the airport!

That's all for now. Looking at a screen is getting a little tiring after an hour and a half!
