... new. We ate lunch on the beach. Beautiful, red, ripe and juicy tomato sandwiches. Real tomatoes, with flavor and soft skins, not genetically modified to travel well. <br><br>We pulled over to have a photo session at the 'fingers in the sand' monument, at the beach at Punte Del Este and could hardly get away from all the people who were interested in our trip. We had so many photos taken of us, on cameras and on mobile phones, it was getting ...

... driven just over 100 kms to get to the town of Maldando, which again has a large campsite in the area. The tourist office was closed when we arrived, but we managed to get directions to the campsite. Once again it is a huge place, although this time about 2 kms from the beach and about 5 to town. <br><br>2nd - Another very quiet and relaxed day.<br><br>Pictures are for the house in next entry.

... Picasso still alive??), met Che Guevara and apparently has been asked to paint all these Middle Eastern palaces- very pretty place!

GO CUBS!!!!!! this is the year, i can feel it.

... of it but luckily for me I don`t have to force anything because I see Amanita (the 15 year old, which is contradictory to what I just said, but it`s different since she isn`t like a complete stranger that I walk up to on the beach and just start talking to) on the sidewalk as I am walking and we hang out for awhile and then Jane rolls up on a bike and then a good friend of Amanita`s strolls up and now I am having a good time. We all hang out and tell ...

... The rich and famous are there all the time, so we fitted in well with our backpacks and gringo-outfits. Friday we took a bus over to Piriapolis, another beach resort. This one had ski chairlift up the side of a large hill, from which you could overlook the curve of the bay. We walked back down and encountered some monstrous wildlife...

... about California, I asked her where she was from, and as it turns out she went to Cal. I said, 'oh, Cool, I went to Stanford!' and she replied, 'Oh.' She didn't speak a word to me after that. I later inferred that she was a cheerleader at Cal, which I suppose explains the plastic appearance and vindictive school spirit. She was just that type of cheerleader pretty, and I hate to say it, that type of cheerleader vapid. Her friends were nice though. Two nights in ...
