Travelling again... to Uruguay!

I was so lucky last weekend to be able to visit my great friend Veronica, who lives in Uruguay.
Charly and I went there for a weekend getaway... Alone!  The kids stayed with their grandparents for 2 nights, so we had kind of a honeymoon in Montevideo.
We had a fabulous time, Vero took us sightseeing to many places.  To the rambla besides de beach, Mercado del Puerto and Ciudad Vieja.
I am not particularly a fan of architecture... But the buildings in Montevideo are really amazing!


Then we met Hannah, who I've been wanting to meet for months, and we got to see some really interesting photoshoot...


But one of the best parts of the trip was being able to go here:  MALABRIGO FACTORY!!

 
The three of us had an awesome time there, and I bought some goodies.  Well, more than goodies, this would be a haul... But it was all for work's sake!
After all... What would you do being surrounded by all this yarn?  The place was ridiculous!!
Well, I had to come home with this:


And before coming home, I got to see Manos del Uruguay's exhibition about sheep:


Hannah took more pictures of this, you can check out her blog too...
Have a great weekend!
