Fray Bentos, Uru.

Placa vieja de Fray Bentos


Rio Uruguay



Cindy and I used a canoe with a small outboard engine to do some exploring on the Rio Uruguay. From Uruguay territory to the Argentinian side, the river stretches 20 km wide. We navigated upstream and downstream from the cabaña, visiting the beach of Las Cañas and exploring the banks towards the nearby town of Fray Bentos.

Here is a view of our home base and river transportation from the water.

We occasionally helped with daily calf feedings. Other work included fencing, painting, cutting and clearing brush with a machete, collecting firewood, and cleaning the beach. We spent the few rainy days helping to repair Niek´s catamaran. 







Celebración


Niek´s brother Tom, and sister-in-law Annameaka, who are also his neighbors, invited us for a Uruguyan style barbecue. Our hosts were very kind and treated us to a variety of drinks and a feast that included asado (lamb), roast chicken and a delicious quinoa salad.
