Yesterday was the Dia de los Reyes, the last day of Christmas, the day the 3 Kings arrived to greet the new baby Jesus. It´s when many Uruguayans exchange gifts (instead of on Christmas), and it´s a day when everything is closed and the whole country goes to the beach. Well, when in Uruguay...
I spent the whole day at various beaches along the Uruguayan coast. It took awhile (like 5 Uruguayan minutes), but eventually, my Brazilian friends and I made it to the green beach. It inspired much silliness and a ukulele song.
And an ocean sunset...
After taking all day to get here, we weren´t in a hurry to leave. We found a restaurant with a great view, and got a little silly. I´m sure we were the only ones they´d had in a long time who didn´t wear pants for dinner... And another great pinkulele song is born! You can eat dinner, wearing no pants. Watch the sunset, wearing no pants. Go to the GREEN BEACH, wearing no pants. Have a Happy Kings Day, wearing no pants!
Hey Amy! Great to hear about your trip. It sounds divine so far and you have the perfect attitude (of course). I checked in last week, but had to come back to create an account so I could write you. I love the CD and I listen to it non-stop for hours at a time. Can't wait for the next one. I am envious of the sun and warmth. The days are finally getting longer here such that I can notice. Thanks for the pictures and great descriptions. Did you borrow your hat from one of the horses? :o)

ReplyDeleteOi Amy,
estou em Buenos Aires, aonde os reis finalmente se separaram, cada um agora segue sozinho em sua solitaria jornada de volta. Depois desse encontro tao especial e ùnico resta somente uma pequena esperanca que algum dia uma outra estrela nos leve de volta ao mesmo lugar, para que juntos possamos mais uma vez trocar presentes, sentimentos, sonhos e tudo mais.
Baltazar,
now in his way to Rio de Janeiro, where for many years people will hear the story and will never believe, but the stroy will always live in the hearts of the kings.
