Uraguay and Punta Del Diablo

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AMY, TRICIA AND AUNT SUZANNE.
I took the ferry over to Uraguay which was nice. I landed in a small town of Colonia. It is a very historical town that took all of 20 min to cover on foot. I met two guys in the hostel who were going to rent bikes and tool around...I should have informed them but it was not my place.. -with a smirk i said have fun (half the town is in cobble stones". I saw them at lunch - needless to say they got off the bikes after 10 min. I was killing time - my bus for Del Diablo left at 1:30. It was a full day of traveling and I emailed the girl who owns Tranquillo el diablo and said I would be there around 9:30Pm and i hoped there were taxi´s. The bus ride was uneventful. Silly me i had thought the bus route was along the coast but no it was just cows and more cows. I thought crap i am wasting a whole day traveling...
At 9:30 PM I got off the bus and I just laughed. There were no cabs, no ppl, hadly anyone had eñectricity, it was a VERY small town. I thought I am screwed becasue me thinks not very many ppl will understand my poor spanish. However another girl got off there two and we both looled a little nervous at out surroundings. I looked at her and said in my poor Spanish, " where are you headed"? Tranquilla del Diablo - she responded in perfect English. Thank the stars for her. In perfect Spanish (becasue she is from BA but her sister lives in manhatten - crazy) she asked a local where are place was and he said it is not very far and you can walk. Well it is a VERY small town and we managed to get lost a few times but we had a great conversation and when we found it I thought...AHHHHH what a great place. It is owned and operated by a young couple from Wisconsin. Everything was very American in this hostel which I did not mind a bit. My plan was to stay here two days and then a night in Montevideo. I stayed three days and hung out like a beach bum. Everyone said you are not missing anything in Montevideo. It is a smaller version of BA - I thought good enough for me. It was so peaceful. (I will upload pics soon). I met some great people and they had a great resturant. Becasue their summer does not really start until the middle of dec - their hostel is the only one that is opened year round so they were the only game in town. It really reminded me of what those small towns in CA would have been like before all the developers moved in. I think if I went back here in a year or so it will be different but still quaint. I had a beach all to myself and fell asleep and got very burned. That will teach me to get cheap sunblock- when I read the sunblock after the fact it said and I quote, "This is very, very water resistant" shame on me #1. After 3 days I am still burned. Sadly I left for a flight for Commodore Rivadavia from BA (which means I had to travela full day and then a flight) - It was still worth it. Commodor was only supposed to be a brief stop over to get a bus ticket to the next place (Puerto San Julian). But the busses do not run until after 6 pm (my plane landed at 8 Am in the morning) so I am stuck in this pitiful town for several hours. Shame on me #2. I did not plan this part of my trip out I wanted to play it by ear...well so far not so good but at least I got to update my blog!!
