We noticed they had really nice trash bins throughout the isla.

Perhaps the best thing we saw in the Colonia were these amazing ancient world maps drawn by The Portuguese and Spaniards. I”m a big fan nice shapes, and the artisan cartograpers certainly didn’t disappoint!

We killed the remaining time with a leisurely late lunch and thought we’d end our visit with a nice flan con dulce de leche.

By this time we learned the difference between “monedas” (coins) and “billetas” or in Espagnoli – “dinero”, and what “effectivo” means… the bill, not “la cuenta”. In fact all Espagnish is not de same from España to Mexico to Argentina.

All in all, Colonia was a nice slow time. Montevideo it is next time!
