Back to Montevideo, Uruguay

I seriously considered visiting to Punta del Este , some call it Miami or the Saint Tropez of South America. However, the hostel staff came from the area discouraged me since too cold for swimming that there was nothing going on. As such, I visited a few spots in Colonia del Sacramento then bused back to Montevideo directly. I would like to Climb the lighthouse for panoramic views of the city and the surrounding Rio de la Plata. Unfortunately, it was still closed for the day. I then visited the Basilica of the Blessed Sacrament, in the hope to climb up the bell towers to get panoramic views of the city. However, no one was around and the towers were not usually open to the public. 

After checking in a better hostel in Montevideo, I got some grocery to fix myself a late lunch. Since it was already late in the afternoon, I walked one mile to visit the Central Cemetery of Montevideo. It was a beautiful, peaceful, and artistic national cemetery, notable for its impressive sculptures by artists like Belloni and the graves of famous Uruguayans. Since I arrived 4:20 pm and it closed at 4:45 pm, I had a very quick ran via the property. I walked along the water front back to the hostel hoping to see the sunset, yet the sun hit behind the clouds. There were more than 30 people fishing along the way，but none of them caught even one fish. I asked each of them to see the fish because I was curious about the fish sizes and kinds. I cooked tuna  bow tie pasta farfalle for dinner.
