celebrate! punta del este

After almost three years in the extreme southern tip of South America, my kids were ecstatic to be in the warmer waters of Uruguay. In port, we celebrated our return to freedom as sailors on the water and made preparations for the completion of our circumnavigation with a sail plan to go non-stop from Uruguay to the Caribbean. 

We arrived in the city just after the peak tourism season in Punta del Este, and there was space for us on the docks and a tranquil scene on the peninsula.
