  4. Uruguay: Coastal reveries, away from it all

    COLONIA DEL SACRAMENTO, Uruguay — Straddling the crest of a sand dune, my back to the Atlantic Ocean, I watched a Uruguayan boy net fish in a river lagoon. He waded through the chest-high water, dragging behind him the reflection of the setting sun.

On the roof was a plastic carrier with as much clothing as we could stuff into it: the necessities of five soon-to-be expatriates.
