Our second day in Colonia we took to the historic district, passing through the 18^th-century city gate on our way to the 19^th-century lighthouse. Spending the day strolling through more cobble-stoned streets, climbing the lighthouse, meditating on the port, and enjoying hot chocolate and coffee, we finished our relaxing day as one should, with with a sunset and a delicious dinner.

No sabía que ponerme y me puse feliz!! (The sign’s message, working a bit better in Spanish, exclaims “I didn’t know what to wear, so I put on happiness!!”)
