BUQUEBUS AND TRAVEL TO URUGUAY

Last Wednesday we traveled to Montevideo Uruguay across the Rio de la Plate which is the most enormous river we have ever seen!  It is like the ocean! It empties into the Atlantic ocean further up the southern coast of Uruguay. This river divides Uruguay and Argentina, and there is a great deal of boat traffic on this river.  It is a three hour ferry ride on the BUQUEBUS to Montevideo, Uruguay from Buenos Aires.  The harbor that the ferry docks in is shared with huge tankers, crains, and navy ships.  It was fascinating watching the ferry manuever into the harbor in Montevideo to dock.

This blog post is for you, Joshua and Caleb, as we thought you would like to see the big crains that lift containers off of the ships and see the huge tanker that was soooo close to the ferry!

Grandpa took these pictures for you, boys!
