I spent two days in Uruguay, with one night in the capital Montevideo and the other in Colonia. Montevideo was nice. Parts reminded me of cities in Spain. The center is compact and walkable, and some buildings in the historic city center are being restored. Montevideo receives day tourists from cruise ships, which is good for the Uruguayan economy but annoying for certain other tourists who don’t like day tourists from cruise ships.

Eating out in Montevideo was a lot cheaper than in Brazil; I had a great dinner consisting of salad, entrée, good wine, and dessert for US$ 15.
The next day I took a 3 hour bus ride to Colonia, an historic town across the Rio Plata from Buenos Aires. Colonia has nice river beaches and an even nicer colonial center.
