As I was told by lots of people it is a meat oriented culture over here. One day in the office I offered salad to one of the colleagues his answer was I do not eat the food of my food e.g. grass eaten by cows. But what I find odd is that their favorite food is Sushi Everywhere you get Sushi. The office life is also very different from ho http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Uruguay/District-of-Montevideo/Montevideo/blog-777559.html After a long and uneventful flight I landed at Carrasco International Airport when they say international well the terminal building is new and rather grand but there were 2 big planes one Iberia the other from American Airline when we landed and a few small private jets. The same seems true for the city from what I have seen so far. The Ramblas and Avenidas are quiet well at least at http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Uruguay/District-of-Montevideo/Montevideo/blog-776452.html Montevideo UruguayUruguay is an agricultural country next door to Argentina and Brazil with Montevideo its39 capital. One feature of the city is that with the exception of the sail like Torre de las Telecommunicaciones skyscrapper most of the buildings are 18th and 19th century colonial architure. The most interesting part of the city for us was the old city located near the docks. http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Uruguay/District-of-Montevideo/blog-773780.html Uruguay is a small country located in South America. The country has thee long coastline providing some of the most beautiful scenes to visitors especially Punte Del Este offering a spectacular vacation spot as Cacun of Mexico.

We had a 915 AM muster call in the Showroom the same as two days earlier. We had a city sightseeing tour followed by a wine tasting and barbeque lunch before returning to the ship for another early departure. Early In Early Out the captain had said. So again we went to the Lido for breakfast. French toast was go http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Uruguay/District-of-Montevideo/Montevideo/blog-768685.html On what was meant to be my last night in Montevideo a Swiss guy that I had befriended at the hostel and I decided to head down to the beach to check out the sunset. As we walked the 4 blocks between the hostel and the beach these three guys asked us for the time. Patrick replied to them in Spanish as we walked by without stopping. After about 10 meters I looked back behind us and the three guys we http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Uruguay/District-of-Montevideo/Montevideo/blog-768026.html Our last shore day and this cruise has come to an end all too soon. On your first day out of the embarkation port you feel you will be gone forever but the time flies by so quickly. Tied up at the main Montevideo pier at 0800 and were off the ship in a flash after hitting Jimmy. Big surprise last night. As part of Steves Ultimate behind the Scenes ship tour yesterday we returned to http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Uruguay/District-of-Montevideo/Montevideo/blog-767769.html Not thinking too much about it I hopped a boat and ended up in Uruguay. I arrived in Montevideo around 7pm Sunday Dia de Los Reyes. I ended up in a parade not at a parade in a parade of traditional drumming and dancing. We did not stop until well into the night. Yesterday my heart and mind were in San Francisco. 6500 miles can39t stop me from being a mom.

Since neither one of us had an alarm clock we figured the only sensible thing to do would be to party all night and just go straight to the bus t http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Uruguay/District-of-Montevideo/Montevideo/blog-753593.html Abby and I got up bright and early to start off our day. Since the little bit of cash we had exchanged yesterday was now gone we decided we39d find an ATM to get more. This took well over an hour as there was a severe language barrier and we couldn39t find an ATM that would take American bank cards.Interesting fact about Uruguay.
