A year later I went to Buenos Aires for a meeting of editors of journals on reproductive and sexual health, sexuality, and related health and human rights issues. The aim was to help a Chilean group to set up an internet course on how to write articles for academic journals. After the meeting, I went with two of my friends from the city on a boat over to the small island of Colonia, which is in Uruguay. There we found a lighthouse on one side of the island. This is the photo. There was also a lovely garden in the middle of the island that included a beautiful flowering tree whose name I don’t know and lovely houses on the surrounding cobbled streets. One door had a beautiful lace curtain. It was an easygoing day until we went to catch the boat back in the evening (I had to go straight to the airport from Buenos Aires when we docked) and we discovered we were in a different time zone from Buenos Aires and our boat had left an hour before. I took the next boat (I had to leave them behind; I was lucky to get on as it was packed) and I had to race in a taxi to the airport to catch my plane. Just made it! Whew!!!
