I love Uruguay!

Okay, I swear to god, Chris and I were just sitting at a table in this little restaurant at the Mercado in Montevideo, and he decided to take a pic of me cuz the BBQ was right behind me. We didnt ask the waiter, motion to anyone, did not even look around.... next thing we know, the waiter grabs us, we´ve crawled under the counter, the chef gave us hats and big knives and he´s taking our picture in front of salchichas and chorizo! It was ridiculous and hilarious. I love Don Garcias!

We almost didnt come to Uruguay- kinda sick of travelling, the ferry was kinda expensive, yadda yadda, but I am soooooo glad we did because its a great country and the people are so friendly. We spent our only full day there just wandering around, this building is I think the most recognizable in Montevideo- look familiar?

Teatro Solis- beautiful, went on a tour of it later that day

The Gaucho Museum! Yay Gigis! (Is that how you spell it dad?)
Inside Teatro Solis- way more giant and spacious than the pic captures

I was almost too embarrased to take this pic because, as you can imagine, Montevideo is not much of a touristy town and everyone was like eating there lunch on the benches all around the fountain, but Chris really wanted to take it and I think it turned out great- very poignant because the most noticable thing about the look of this city was the blending of the very old buildings and more modern ones. And its a pretty fountain.
Next we headed for Colonia de Sacramento, a cute lil colonial town a few hours from Montevideo. Lotsa cobblestone and sailboats. We wandered around for the day - with our backpacks - then took the ferry back to Buenos Aires.
