ENG: Welcome to the Colón Theatre (that’s Colón as in Columbus, not a body part ) One of Buenos Aires’ jewels, andone of the world’s great Opera Houses. It was inaugurated in 1908 after 20 years of construction! And next year will celebrate its centenary. Right now you can’t go inside as it’s being refurbished, but Quene was lucky enough to enroll in a theatrical set-design course, taught in the Theatre’s Theatrical Institute.

ENG: So as not to bore you too much (you were probably thinking the next post was going to be form our local supermarket!!!) Well we took the opportunity to take a trip out of Buenos Aires and Argentina, crossing the River Plate, we added another country to the list, Uruguay, where we visited Colonia del Sacramento for weekend away! In less than an hour away by catamaran you are whisked away from the hustle and bustle of Buenos Aires to the small fortress town of Colonia, apparently the oldest town in Uruguay.
