Con Plata



(photos of me by Josh Sanchez)

Last week we crossed the iron-rich waters of the Rio de la Plata to Montevideo, Uruguay. We continued by bus to Punta del Este, a resort town popular among wealthy Argentines. Although we missed another Bob Dylan concert – this one was in a casino parking lot, -- we enjoyed our hours on beaches covered with international sunbathers and nascent surfers -- and managed to stay in the oldest, weirdest and most atmospheric hotel in town, The Palace Hotel, -- thus dodging the most elite members of Argentina’s Semana Santa delegation to the point in the east. I bought a lovely yellow bracelet from some enterprising young girls selling their creations by the roadside.
