... 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 ...

Each day about lunch time, four old sea lions appear at the Punta del Este docks. Here the local fishermen clean and sell their catch for the day. The leftovers go to the sea lions. On weekends, even in winter, the tourists gather to watch the sea lions have their lunch. For a small tip, the fishermen will provide a fish to feed to ...

... even estate agents were open, it was just like any other day and no one hardly took any notice of it. After a couple of days we were a bit fed up with the expensive prices of Punta, so having heard of Punta del diablo, we planned to set off for there looking for a quieter experience, away from all the high rise blocks, we did not even manage to really enjoy any of Punta's supposedly famous nightlife, oh well...theres always next christmas!

... down too. Punta del Este, the St Tropez of S America is more like a dreary Herne Bay when the sun ain´t shining. A walk along the beach, soft sand between our toes, freezing water splashing right up my trouser legs and miles of empty beach cheered us a little bit - well GB had a good laugh at my soaking at least; and thus we strolled back to the AWA to check in. The rest of the day was spent wandering around deserted streets but for a few die hard surfers and the S America ...

... against two 15 year old highschool kids, can`t get much more random and bizarre than that. I get 2nd in the car racing game, and I`m so ****ing ****** that I suggest 1 more game of pool before we head our separate ways. I guess Vertigo has an over 18 year old area where you can drink and they tell me I could go there, but no, I think I`ll try to find the over 18 club as it would be nice to find some chicks I could actually mess with without going to jail ...

... to watch. Friday we had a car drive us to José Ignacio which is about 30km away from Punta and is supposed to be even more "THE place to go" than Punta is. Shakira was there at the same time apparently planning a wedding or something along those lines (we obviously didn't see her though). So we drove out to see it. It was an overcast day, but still warm enough out not to cause us any major discomfort. We got out to walk around part of the little town ...

... office, to see the options for getting to Punta del Diablo and Cabo Polonio. The plan became to visit Punta del Este, and then head to Punta del Diablo for the night. So we went for a stroll in Punta del Este, which turned out to take much longer then expected. The harbour was full of yachts, but serves also as a fishing harbour. The fishermen were back, unloading the fish, cutting off the filets and throwing overboard the rest, to ...

... DC, was very kind and intelligent - she spoke fluent Spanish as she was partially raised in Argentina. A great emissary and a positive example of our immigration model. Yay for America, national pride. I take offense to the offensive folks because I have pride in our country and I want both the good and the bad to be conspicuous, not just the bad. Anyway, more on that another time. I guess it is time to 'have party', or as is more likely after a day of travelling, to sleep.

... tends to be pretty trim. I guess we can't blame our epidemic on genetics or the types of food we are served. Too many of us just put too much on our plates. (The restaurants and food companies also cannot be fingered. They are just responding to customer demand. They wouldn't increase portion size unless the customer was willing to pay more or buy more often.) We are not going to watch the Oscars tonight. Uruguay is three time zones ahead of NY (check a map ...
