We have been in this little beach town - little compared to other cities in Brasil, not compared to the last beach town we were in (Punta del Diablo, Uruguay) - for two days now. The tourist season has ended, so the hotels are cheap and the beaches are almost empty, but the weather is nice and sunny, and hot. Tommorow morning we head to Florianopolis to start our language course.
As promised, here are some pictures.
A sculpture-lined pedestrian street in Montivideo, Uruguay:
The waterfront of the Rio Plata in Montivideo - the fisherman was selling his catch on the sidewalk:
The cool place to be on Saturday afternoon in Montivideo is the old market, where you can eat as much grilled meat as you want (sorry, vegetarians). There are a couple of grilled vegetables, and grilled cheese. Yum.
The view from our cabaña in Punta del Diablo:
And the cabaña itself:
A view of the shoreline:
And the fishing fleet:
I mentioned the fruit in the last post, so here is an example - avacadoes that are almost as big as your head:
And, finally, the beach here in Torres - the cliffs in the pícture are part of a series of outcrops, one of which was made into a municipal park that you can hike around on (from which this picture was taken):

Nice pictures! The picture of the shoreline reminded me of areas in South Africa that I visited before.
It's hard to believe that you're nearing the halfway mark of your trip.
When you get back, you can start a web site promoting tourism to South America. Look out for business contacts while you're there. Just a thought...
