Lørdag ble vi invitert til en fest. Det viste seg å være pengeinnsamling til karneval som er i februar. Vi betalte for inngang, også solgte de ulike drikkevarer og mat. Veldig artig konsept som foregikk i en idrettshall.. Ulike ungdomsgrupper forbereder karneval numre- klovneshow, cabaret, og andre ...

... others were pretty funny, the one for cuba was painted like fidel castro with a cigar an all. Wel this kept us occupied for all o0f an hour so we had some serious time to kill as we spent nearly 2 days there. We ended up havin pints with a nice Geman couple who mwere studing in Buenos aires, good laugh really. We going back to BA next for bout 10 days before we fly out, I can see this gettin really messy. Anyway roll on BA its paridise compared to this place.

... it was off the beat and sounded really bad yet he has one of the main floor to DJ. It was all techno-ish though so maybe nobody really cared. By the time we were at the club though we had forgotten about the argument and were fine again. We stayed with Mauricio most of the night and was on a different floor to Rodrigo most of the night just cos the music was more mainstream dance stuff. Got back to the hotel at about 4am.

... find it hard enough to take in names at home never mind foreign ones). She was really nice and we had a conversation (via Ismael) as she wanted to know all the places I had been to so far. Then "Mobile Shorts" arrived (he was wearing shorts and always on his mobile) and could say a few words in Spanish but only enough to ask a few questions. Then "red face" and "mrs red face" came (she didn't have a red face btw ...

... straight to Montevideo. The entire journey including immigration took under 7 hours. The immigration was all done in the same facility, which I have never seen done before. The Argentinian and Uruguayan officials were sitting at the same desk and I simply had to stand in one line... stamp... stamp... and the ...

... off!) photos were great, other museum was closed but we did walk around quite a lot and saw the town and then headed out to the sea front (estuary down towards the atlantic ocean) and had fresh fish dinner of swordfish and it was delicious. half ten at night and a balmy 23 degrees. mmmmm

... to cost 15 dollars now its 30. A small beer in the bar is 7 dollars or more! a pitcher of sangria is upwords of 20 dollars that puts punta del este as one of the most expensive places in latin america, and prices the average uruguayian right out of the city. So who comes you ask? Pretty much the upperclass of brazil argentina and paragauy, and the rest of latin america. The roads are packed with mercedez and BMW and porshes like i´ve never seen before, i heard some people have these ...

... I couldn't believe my luck; nor the trust they put into a complete stranger. It completely made my day. I couldn't help but compare the way these people treated me, with the way I was treated at the Temple for the Amijai Community just three days earlier. Anyway, the Christo Obrero Church was far and away one of the better pieces of architecture I've seen this trip. I really liked it. I took numerous photos both inside and ...

... and what a pleasant experience this was! Anna poured, we clinked the glasses, we smelled the wine, we swirled the wine, and then, finally, we tasted it. It was a very congenial and pleasant event, to say the least. Rosario was the designated driver (our tour guide) and just watched us, joining in the conversation, of course.
