punta del este

inspired by photographs from my parents' recent trip to uruguay, i have been trying to scheme up a worthy post about the area they visited, punta del este. ironically, in last week's new york times there was a great spread on an amazing home in...you guessed it...punta. what perfect timing--thank you new york times travel editors!

to me, this home evokes a true feel of south america (although perhaps that's not fair seeing as i have yet to explore that area....) at any rate, the color palette and almost tribal decor gives off a very nature-inspired and earthy feel. it's simple and primitive and transports you to a peaceful place where the only way to live life is without worry. that being said, i'll be on the next flight to montevideo, sans cares and woes...
