On the 4th of July we boarded a ferry to Uruguay and spent the day wandering around Colonia. The port city is a world heritage site complete with a town wall, draw bridge and many colonial era buildings. In the afternoon we rented bikes to ride along the beaches and ended up riding 2.5 miles to a golf course. The course was on the grounds of a Sheraton Hotel and a new second home development. Lots along the course start at $50,000 -- a large amount of cash for this part of the world. Speaking of cash, the course was not cheap but the most expensive part were the golf balls. It was US $10 for a pack of 3. In local terms US $10 buys a steak dinner with a glass of wine.

One other interesting point -- check out the cars at Thrifty! They rent bikes, motos and golf carts but no cars!
