Piriapolis, Uruguay

So we are on the coast of Uruguay. We are staying in a tiny little flat in a place called piriapolis which is about 30 minutes from punta del esta. We had a hard time finding a clean reasonable priced place to stay right in punta so we decided to stay here. The beaches here are really nice with white sand and warm water. Its easy to get a bus to punta so we can stay here where it is less busy and just go there a couple days. Yesterday we went up a chair lift on a hill called cerro San Antonio to see great views of the bay. It's quite funny watching the people here they are quite obsessed with a tea called matte. They take it everywhere even in the ocean! They carry around a thermos and this cup that has a straw with a filter on it. It reminds us a lot like we are in hobbit ville. The sinks are low and the houses small and they carry around there tea:) They say if someone offers you a sip you have to take it other wise you will really offend them. We are here on the, beach till the 31st then we will head to the capital city for a few days. Hope everyone is keeping well! Hugs!
