Her you can see Mario with his thumbs up in the air. Beside him is his humble shop assistant.
Our camera broke down and we walked into Mario's shop to see if they sold camera's.
They didn't sell cameras but quickly rang a friend who provided cameras for inspection. Service with a smile and we were impressed by their sense of wanting to help out. Gave us a warm feeling on our first day in the city.
Montevideo is a charming place with laid back people and a very European feel.
People going about their business earning a living. Exchange here is 30 pesos for 1 USD.
A bus ticket for a 4 hour trip is only $20 USD. On Monday we travel to Chuy on our cheap tickets going by the coast road.
Linda's feet are sore from all the walking around sight seeing. She has cement pills in her handbag.
Rough outline Jan 17th to South America...arriving in Buenos Aires Argentina then May 1st exit Colombia for Europe Aug 3 exit Europe for Australia via Singapore Arrive home late December 2016. That's all.

Hi guys, Monique here. Have hijacked Omas computer to check out your blog. Looks like beautiful cities to explore! Have fun!
Hi Monique
Very nice things to see all over the place. Having an android tablet is a huge advantage over a phone. I know you were thinking about a tablet. It is great for planning and communication. Recommend you get a cover/stand for it and also a Bluetooth mouse. Regards
Hi Linda and Sam, thanks for all the beautiful things you guys wrote about my country, my name is Melina and the man in the picture with his thumb up happens to be my father.
He was so exited when he told my mom and I that he met and helped out a couple from another country, so thanks for giving him that fantastic experience where he learnt to communicate in another language.
Regards from Uruguay
