Full Day in Montevideo

Here are a few fotos from our day in Montevideo. Tomorrow it is off to the farm. We had a fun time trying to figure out how to get there. Our experience in Guatemala was that if you go to the bus station, you can just hop on a bus and might have to change busses, but it supposed to be pretty easy. After using some sort of telephone store that functioned as a really fancy phone booth, we have reservations for a bus tomorrow and believe we know how to get to the terminal, using another bus. I think this is one of my favorite parts of travelling, figuring out how to do things that people who live here think is every day life.

On to the photos:

Yes we have a Bidet (spelling¿?)

Uruguay has much Italian influence. We went to dinner last night and ended up eating pasta. It was excellent and was some of the best italian food we´ve had. We wandered around from about 5-7 wondering why many of the restaraunts were not open. We learned today that most Uruguayans do not eat dinner until 9pm and it is not unusual to start dinner well after that. Tonight, we shall explore at a much later hour.

You say you had a bidey, but did you use it? That's what we really want to know. :)

all i will say is that they need a warm water setting on that thing.

Hi Tracy and Adam, I think I may be living in the wrong culture! I like the idea of dinner at 10pm! Glad you are enjoying your adventures and we are enjoying your photos! Love...Jenny, Lara, and TerryP
