In Uruguay people get killed by eagles... More about that later. We were in Uruguay for only four days, that is not enough for any country, except perhaps Vatican City. The last time I was in Uruguay I was there for a week, and to be honest I did less than we did now. Montevideo was less touristic in those days, and less expensive.

Food memories
My husband is still chasing the meatball sub from his college days. He'll never find one as good. Loved the story about being killed by eagles whoops evils. Glad you are enjoying the time with your mother. Looks like a lovely location. We will add it to our list.

Best steaks and great empanadas!
I still think Uruguay have the best steaks of the world! If for no other reason, if you go to someone's house they would feel it an offence if the meat doesn't melt in your mouth, with you barely having to chew it! Apart from the great steaks and the great hospitality, in Montevideo, I remember this great little place that had the most incredible variety of empanadas both savoury and sweet. I had never seen such a choice before or since really. And they were really good. It was in the old town but I can't quite remember where or the name. And their jujus.

I agree
I didn't say they weren't the best in the world. I also still think they are. Just won't ever be able to beat that one from 2003, because that one gets better in my memory every year. Nothing will ever be able to beat it...
