Tourism: curiosities
In my trips I saw some curiosities, like the sculpture of a hand going out of the sand in a beach in Punta del Este (Uruguay) and a stone with words written in Latin in an ancient temple of Aesculapius (Greek-Roman god of health) which was in the same place where nowadays there are the ruins of the Godesburg castles in Bonn, Germany (suburb Bad Godesberg).
