Virtual travel to Uruguay
Buen dia: Yes, I can recommend a novel set in Uruguay---a new mystery novel available as an e-book from Amazon and Smashwords. For your "holiday", how about an armchair visit to Montevideo, the capital city of Uruguay, and Iguazu Falls, on the border of Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay? For only $2.99 "The Ambivalent Corpse" is available as a Kindle E-book from Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/Ambivalent-Corpse-Crime-Meant-ebook/dp/B0060ZFRQG/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1319989507&sr=1-1, and in other convenient formats at Smashwords at http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/100325. The book is also in the Smashwords Premium Catalog as of December 1st, which will soon get the book onto iBooks, iPads, Kobos, and Nooks. This mystery book has garnered four 4-star reviews thus far on Amazon.

Knowing Your Way
This sounds like a real nightmare, you expect the driver to know where they are going, but some of these cabbies are absolutely clueless. Even with GPS, they still can't figure it out. We had situation where one of our clients was in Mumbai, and they told us that the driver took them to the wrong airport. The sad thing is, our client didn't know until they actually showed up and he realized the sign did not match the airport on his ticket. Needless to say, he was very grateful he had trip insurance because he missed his flight.

That's a lot of beef
Not sure how I'll be able to keep up the vegetable intake in Uruguay -- am thinking of shopping at the markets and making my own salads. They can be eaten anytime anywhere. Perhaps the thing to do is have salad as a snack, and then when in a cafe or restaurant order vegetarian pasta, potato or maize dishes.

That's a lot of beef
Uraguay sounds like a much better place to escape to than other popular destinations like Spain. The beef diet might put me off though as I too like my veggies and salad. How do you think you will go eating out in Uraguay?

Very interesting
I believe Uruguay has native bees (not honey producing).

Uruguay Novels
Hi, Try "The Invisible Mountain" by Carolina De Robertis and/or "The Tree of Red Stars" by Tessa Bridal. Both deal with coming of age issues for young girls and their families against the historical background of 20th century Uruguay and offer nice descriptions of the daily life and customs of the country. Both are well written and flow nicely. Anthony (USA)
