A Year in Uruguay

The fishing boats were working very close to the beach this morning-- within easy swimming distance. They use nets made of monofilament line. I'm not sure what they're trying to catch.

Yesterday evening we saw fish jumping out of the water: a silver flash, then a splash. A golden retriever swam after them but kept getting distracted as one fish after another jumped. The dog would charge ahead, then hesitate and change direction, again and again. It never caught anything, but it seemed to be having fun.
