Uruguay (page 2)

After a pleasant couple of days in Montevideo, we headed north to Argentina with a stopover at a very nice spa just north of Paysandu. (You can click on the thumbnails to view the actual images which are larger and of higher resolution.)

Skyline of Montevideo across inlet of River Plato (silver).  Notice the palm trees.  There is a long line of palm trees across Uruguay and Argentina all the way to Chile.  Archeologists believe that these trees record an ancient trade route where natives discarded seeds after eating the fruits that they carried to sustain themselves during the long journey.
