Terrazas del Puerto Piriapolis

... 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.

2nd - Another very quiet and relaxed day.

Pictures are for the house in next entry.

We had returned to Piriapolis because of the glorious views of the mountains and the beaches, and had planned to spend the day learning more about the town. But after a series of half-communications, here we were scrambling ...

... sea lions while you take a picture.

These four sea lions have made the trip back to the mainland from Isla de los Lobos, which lies about 3 miles out into the Atlantic. Lobo is the Spanish word for lion, and for some reason, the Uruguayans call sea lions "sea wolves," despite the obvious resemblance to the King of Beasts. The ...

... the side of Mt. San Antonio, a developer has built a new building directly above the harbor. The condos are small, but the decks, most of which have an outdoor fireplace/barbecue, have spectacular views. You can buy this view, along with a 1,000 square foot 3-bedroom unit with a 300 square foot deck for $157,600.

... with me, me turn her down and then she gets on one of the other two Swedes who I liked. If that makes sense. It`s rough being me, I have many problems. What did Hogger tell that one chick who he was trying to hit on, I think he told her I had a lot of personality flaws (oh yeah, that`s it), thanks Hogger. I think Hogger also told this chick who I used to date and who I really like that I dumped her because she had a big ass. Thanks again buddy. But ...

... look down I see this guy just going to town on this chick in the brush. It was ****ing hysterical. She must have been bent over a log or something as she was on her stomach and he was just ramming away in mid daylight. I couldn't believe my eyes at first but there was no mistake about it, it was a real life porno in the middle of the day in some strange fantastic place called Piriapolis. I wanted to stare, I mean who wouldn't ...

... like we do in Europe, the heat comes from a big wood fire next to the BBQ which drops burning embers which are spread beneath the grill. The feast comprised 3 cuts of beef, sweet potatoes, vegetable bruchettes, sausages, jackets potatoes and loads of fresh salad. On this photo you can see Uncle Phil, Auntie Beatriz, our cousins Steven & Sabrina and Sabri´s boyfriend Juan, just before we started the feast. We have also been ...

Well I have some updating to do it looks like. We were in Uruguay for some nice beach bumming for 3 days - it was really nice beach and not too crowded yet. We found a great bakery that we frequented for the sweet bread and lots of ice cream shops to check out along the beach!! I worked on my ...

... came to an old building set up as a tourist trap... tons of restaurants crammed inside, each with a tout trying to convince you his is the best. We sat down at one which sounded like a good deal until we asked if there was a "cubierto"- cover charge. There was, one so large it would have doubled our bill. We got out of there and opted for a small cafe on the main drag instead. A tiny waitress who couldn't have weighed more than 70 pounds zoomed up to take our ...

... to our seats to try to get some sleep. We arrived in Montevideo and I was so asleep I hardly knew my name, where I was, where I was going or whom I was with. Ed dragged the bags and me as fast as he could towards the exit so that we'd be the first to get off the ferry, and the first to get on the bus that would take us on a 3 hour drive to Punta del Este. I slept the entire way to Punta del Este and woke up with the sun shining in my face and an azure wall to my right ...
