Seeing the sights with Naomi

Jose Artigas' - Uruguay's George Washington - mausoleum in Montevideo. The most evident thing when you first walk in is the very "russian" looking font style used on the lettering. One feels like they are in communist Russia. Naomi in front of the Legislative Palace in Montevideo. We tried to tour it but there was a couple hundred high school students waiting their turn.The guards at the Legislative Palace. It was interesting to have them follow you with their eyes.

Calle de los Suspiros (The street of sighes) here in Colonia del Sacramento. This is the oldest street in South America. It got it's name because this was the street where condemned prisoners were led from the town center to the water's edge for execution.
At the top of the lighthouse here in Colonia del Sacramento. Many of you will recall that we used this lighthouse on our prayer card and brochure.
