Colonia, Uruguay again

We woke up to a semi-disappointing breakfast of hard bread, orange jam, coffee and funny tasting cereal. I always add to the meals with yogurt or fruit. This morning I went with a banana to give it a little more. Sarah and I then walked to the market to look for souevenirs for her to take home. Of course that resulted in me finding something as well. I bought a hand made necklace with leather braided strap then silver intrically wrapped and holding the yellow stone in place. Iç usually avoid the color yellow but its was so beauitful i just couldn pass it up. Sarah found some wooden bamboo wind chimes with designs carved into them. Once returning our purchases to the room, we hit the beach. We went back to the same spot we had been the day before. Just below a beach side resturant/lounge which played music all day long. It made for a relaxing time at the beach. There weren many people out today and that must be due to the fact that it is so hot! We both fell asleep for about an hour. I woke up to sweat dripping all off my body and decided to take a dip in the ocean. This also allowed me to wash some of the sand off my body. Once in the water the day felt nice. There was a breeze and the water was a perfect temperature. After standing about knee deep in the water for a bit, I returned to the hot sand where Sarah was still laying. We decided to head back to town for some helado (ice cream) since we both felt the first signs of a burn. As we walked along, the sound of drums rang from the speakers along the road. They had been playing music over the loud speakers all day long. I love this town. Its full of old buildings and everyone seems to be polite and content. I could see myself living in a place like this. We walked to the first helado shop we saw and ordered a scoop of strawberry and cream. It tasted like i was eating fresh, frozen strawberries with a little added sweetness. We then returned to the hostel and relaxed in front of the tv until Sarah and Stephen (this is the correct way to spell his name but for some reason i always get it worng) had to leave.
