Finally, my vacation photos from Rocha!

This weekend I celebrated mother's day with Adrian and his family and while the older brother was at the house with his computer I took the opportunity to download the photos he had taken from our vacation in Rocha back in February. So, they are about three months late but I can now finally share with all of you images of my vacation in Rocha!

It was such an amazing vacation! I had told Adrian that I wanted to visit the beaches of Rocha before summer ended and that I was planning to go during the festivities of carnaval since the school would be closed for that week. On the Thursday before vacation he called me out of the blue to tell me that he and his brother had rented a house to stay in the coastal town of Aguas Dulces (sweet waters) in Rocha and that Friday morning we would hit the road.

We spent 5 days exploring the beaches, there was rainy weather, sunny weather and perhaps the most beautiful rainbow I have ever seen in my life. The beaches and waves in every coastal town we went to were fantastic! The house was in Aguas Dulces but one of the days we took the car out to another town called Las Valizas, saw the beaches there and then the brothers and I headed on foot to Cabo Polonia, another beach town who's attraction is it's simplicity as there is no electricity in Cabo Polonia nor any real development such as restuarants, cars or streets. The way to get to the beach is by walking about 2-3hours along the coast or the sand dunes (as we did) from Las Valizas or you can leave your car in a parking lot about 5km outside of the beach and pay to ride in one of the famous big trucks that cart about 20 some people to and from the lot.

I hope you enjoy the photos!
