We all woke up early to go get a morning run in on the promenade which skirts the entirety of the beach. It was an overcast day with on and off sprinkles which couldn't have been more perfect for a morning run. However after the run when I laid out on the beach I was wishing the sun would peak it's head out:
Around 1 we had to pack up and drive the 2 hours back to Colonia to catch the ferry. By 6:30 we were back in Buenos Aires. Clearly I didn't take this picture but my dad pulled it up to show all of us where we had been in relation to BA and its fascinating and definitely worth sharing:

Buenos Aires is the greyish blob on the right side of the Rio Plata. Monte Video is the smaller greyish blob on the left side of the Rio Plata right where the water changes from brown to blue. Punta Del Este is the most famous beach/resort town in Uruguay and is located on the roundish point on the very far left side of the picture. Depending on whether you call this a river or the ocean the brown section is the widest river in the world.
Anyway we returned to Buenos Aires and went to get pizza at Pizza Piola. As before, some of the best bruschetta I've ever had. We all got accompanying daiquiris to celebrate a fantastic weekend jaunt to Uruguay. And to top it off we bought a kilo of helado on the way back to apartment. Surprisingly we didn't finish it. Almost, but not quite, which is a rarity for my family when ice cream is involved as it frequently is.
