Buenos Aires to Uruguay

<p>As boring as the downtown of Buenos Aires is, as interesting are the suburbs. Palermo is another shady and quiet neighborhood with restaurants, cobblestoned streets, and the huge old trees that give Buenos Aires its charm. La Boca has an artist community with associated tourist hell that reminded me of Copenhagen. </p>
<p>In the evening we took a fast ferry across the bay of the Rio de la Plata. As the boat arrived, everyone was rushing to the buses to Montevideo, but we'll stay a night. I am writing this in little Colonia del Sacramento in Uruguay. Not much to do, it's dark and they have chosen not to invest in street lights.
