Babes, knockers and yarn in Colonia
I realize that probably every expat in Argentina has written about going to Colonia, so this post might be a bit boring for people who read those blogs. So I’ll write about it, but talk about random things that I enjoyed.
So, what is there in Colonia: knitted sweater sales on every corner, a hot man, and ballin’ architecture.
I don’t know if knitting has a bigger presence in Colonia or the Seven Sister schools, but I bet it’s close. I found at least 3 shops and one stand selling hand made knitted sweaters. Why is this at all exciting or interesting? It isn’t really, but I bought a sweater and a scarf from the most adorable little old lady.
I also saw the hottest man on the planet. He was and here’s proof:
We had about 3 hours to kill before heading off to the ferry (we had been at the project director’s hostel) so we hung out by the water. And then we saw HotMan fishing. First, we noticed his lovely green swim trunks. Then we began discussing whether he was attractive or not (we couldn’t tell, he was too far away) until one of my friends took a picture and we zoomed in. All in all, I spent about 2 hours of my life straight out staring at the hottest man on the planet. I guess that makes me a creepster, but it doesn’t bother me.
The architecture is pretty awesome, too. A gate and a door knocker really grabbed my attention:
So that’s my Colonia experience. I didn’t really do much more than buy sweaters, oogle men and take artsy photos, but I had a fantastic time.
