Around Punta Del Este, UR

Family Picture - so much fun!
Punta Del Este Lighthouse - Still working!
Jose Ignacio lighthouse, south of where we are staying. Also still working. Funny story on the way to visit the beach and the lighthouse. We were just driving along enjoying the view along the coastal road and then a cop appears up ahead. I wasn't speeding, but he was just pulling people over to check identification and what not. So guess what...he signalled for me to stop and pull over. He is speaking spanish to us and of course we don't understand it. He says..."American". We say "Si" But, then he just keeps speaking in Spanish. Long story short...we didn't have any ID on us besides copies of our passports. Thru alot of hand signals we told him we would go get it and come back, because he wouldn't let us go any further. So, we turned around went and got it came back and showed it to him. Thank goodness he would of taken the car and arrested me. EEKS! With that delay in our day we missed hiking up the lighthouse 120 steps by 3 minutes. So, we went to the park and Ava fell down and scraped her knee really bad. Just one of those days. We can go back to climb the 120 steps. It is not to far.
