URUGUAY

Sue says: arrived in Montevideo this morning, hot and tired but glad to have left the humidity of
Brazil behind. We've got into the rhythm of buying the next lot of tickets at the bus station, putting our luggage into the left luggage office, going to tourist info. for a map and usually making for a beach or park to find our bearings. So today we took our first look at the Rio de la Plata, where we were serenaded by some sweet Paraguayan travellers. We stopped for a huge pizza, which we could only eat half of, and some street kids came along and saved us the embarrassment. Tonight we are couchsurfing for the first time. Love to all. xxxx


I`ve dreamt of the Rio de la Plata so long, and it is marvellous to see. In fact looks big as the sea as you cannot see across it. The people we have so far met, as we muddle our way along, have all been very kind.
By the way, the artist we saw in the main exhibition yesterday is www.carlosvergara.art.br and we both thought his huge canvases were pretty amazing. Please keep the comments coming as we do enjoy hearing from you.
