On to Piriapolis

Piriapolis is a much older and established resort town than Punta del Este.  Most of the buildings reflect architecture from the first half of the 20th century, and it's on the river side of Uruguay.  The beaches are beautiful and it has a long boardwalk.  We stopped there on the way back from Punta.  In a lot of ways, I prefer Piriapolis.  It's much more centered and much less glitzy.

Floral Sprayed

I completed the first part of this heart.  I think the colors look good, and am pleased with it.  Will get back to it once I'm done with the latest section of Purple Garden.

Sculpture of Waste

This assemblage is totally out of trash.  It looks pretty neat, but it's all about not polluting the ocean.

Back to Gardening

Restarted the Purple Garden again.  Part three is going slowly.

More Punta in March

These photos are from around the harbor area; in one, you can see a cruise ship in the distance.  In August through October, there are occasional glimpses of whales.

One More Done

One more house done on the quest to get all the way down to the bottom of the right hand side.  Now it's only little houses and some grass!

The Other Side of the Point

The river side of Punta del Este still has a lot of nice beaches, but it's much more rocky.  All these shots were from the river side.  It's also the side the cruise ships anchor on and the side of the sailboats.
