Where the Rio de la Plata and Atlantic meet

On Sunday, we took a jaunt to Punta del Este, a large seaside resort. We walked on a beach, rode a wavy bridge, saw the largest mountain in Uruguay, learned a little about the current political landscape, watched a few sea lions cavort, admired a giant hand sculpture, strolled a seaside resort, drove through the Beverly Hills of Uruguay, and encompassed the setting sun “ceremony” from Casapueblo. Highlight? A great Peruvian meal. More details to follow. 

Punta del Este – the red marker – sits at the mouth of the Rio de la Plata (really an estuary).

The Atlantic merges with the Rio. No, we couldn’t tell either.

A menorah?
