Montevideo

the architecture here is the best- on any side street and there are many- i love the guys who pick up the garbage in the old horse carts i love the sound of the hoofs on the old stone roads i love the incredible restaurants and the charm of this place-

My husband is from Montevideo and his daughter lives there. I’m going to visit her in a couple of weeks.
Montevideo is a big but quiet city with old buildings and beautiful beaches.

el mes pasado volvi a mi paisito…mmhhhhhhh esta igual de bonito que siempre!!

I’ve heard that it is incredibly old fashioned ant that the food is excellent.

tHE PEOPLE WERE SO WARM AND HELPFUL. I WILL NEVER FORGET IT. THEY EVEN INVITED ME TO STAY AT THEIR HOME FOR THE NIGHT IF I NEEDE TO! OUTSIDE OF THE CAPITAL CITY THE PEOPLE ARE SO INNOCENT AND HELPFUL IT IS HEARTWARMING.

I have a friend from here and she makes it sound very intresting not to mention all the Uruguayns that I have met so far all seem like generaly nice people. She keeps telling me one day she will take me here

I bought lots of cool things for very reasonable prices at handicraft stores.

It doesn’t have as much Latin American flavor. It’s a bit like Europe in the tropics, which is pretty cool.

Nice people – the place itself looks decayed and is actually not overly interesting.

Spent 14 days in Montevideo working – nice people drinking a huge amount of mate, great weather, nice beaches, and a number of nice restaurants.

The beaches are nice – but as Montevideo is located by the river – the water is rather brownish. Go somewhere else in Uruguay to enjoy the beaches – e.g.. Punta del Este.

I live in Montevideo for 11 months
