Doors in Colonia Uruguay


We were amused by several doors in Colonia Uruguay.  Room 17 was our hotel room in Posada Plaza Major.  As you can see from the exterior and interior pictures, the door was a little small.  The top only came up to my shoulder, so even Sylvan had to duck.  Yes, this was the only door to the room.  We were told that this part of the hotel was from Portuguese times and that the Portuguese were very small.  We did not believe it.  Nice hotel, generally, as you can see from the fountain with the tourist in front of it.  (Ooops, I guess the photographer didn't get a picture of the fountain, only the tourist -- just goes to show my priorities.)



As you can see, Sylvan did not have to duck for the main gate to Colonia, a drawbridge from colonial times.
