A few pictures from the past couple of weeks!

This is the view from the top of an apartment building where some guys from the IES program are living. There is nothing but buildings as far as the eye can see in every direction. This pictures is looking out towards the Rio de la Plata, the huge river on the North east side of the city.

A view from the ports at Punta del Este in Uruguay. This is where a lot of the bars and restaurants were and in the background are all apartment buildings on the beaches that surround the city.

A marvelous view of Casapueblo. This place is huge!! But it was built all by hand by Carlos Paez Vilaro, who you will se in the next picture standing right next to me!! He signed my poster that I bought and I talked to him briefly in his store at Casapueblo. If you ever get a chance to do some research about this man, he is something to behold. His life is full of interesting tales from all parts of the world and his artwork is quite amazing as well!
