I left Sao Paulo and arrived Montevideo, Uruguay at 1am. One piece of interesting history of Uruguay. Only with population of 3 million, they have won the World
Cup Soccer 3 times. Our travel plan was to rent a car and drive to Colonial del Sacramento for 1 day, and then to Punta del Este for 2 days.
Montevideo
Arriving at Mmontevideo airport at 1am
Welcome and Ohla Uruguay !
The first day started with a very blue sky.
We stayed in this nH Hotel at Montevideo.
Churches stood very part of the town.
Original stone paved market street.
Modern apartments with Air Conditioning ... heheee..
This used to be palace, but now it's just an apartment.
Someone is having a good time overnight!
Different signpost on the beach front.
See all Bettle lasts forever.
8am at the Montevideo Beach.
Hello Kitty
Cementario ! A lot of Generale were buried here ...
Montevideo Ferry Terminal
BUQUEBUS is the ferry crossing Rio del la Plata to Buenos Aries
Who ordered this rare beef ?
Parilla !! It means "Grill Food" in Espanol.
Arh .. It's you who ordered the rare beef !
Even most South American do like USA stuff, Coca-cola is different!
This mug is for the South American Tea - Matte.
Getting on the ferry, leaving Uruguay ..
Players, start your engine .....
Hmm..... I wish I could be him .... :>
Colonial del Sacramento
Driving side by side with him ...
Trina & Daniel (aka Union Member)

I think this sign is really obvious. Donde esta los banos?
The city wall of old city Colonial.
Interesting stone pavement
The 4 Canadians and 1 Union Member .....
The city wall reaches out the shore line.
The original street alley in the old city.
Sorry, we didn't stay here.
The weather is just awesome ....
Here comes again, my signature shadow
Can't visit a country without taking a picture of its national flag.
I loved coastal cities, ..yacht & boats!
Cerveza
Pizzarette
and Chorizo....
Back to the city wall again ..
100 feet tall lighthouse
Hang on, just don't fall
Sun is setting ...
Walking down ...
Notice the changes ?
Hmm...
The guy in front of us was not riding a horse. He was actually just sitting on the towing arm of a dolly.
Isn't she cute ? She served us some salami in a Superercado on the way from Colonial back to Montevideo.
OK, this is the real sunset ....
Punta del Este
Welcome, Uruguay toll booth....
Why is Gord looking at Gevan's ..? Ohhh My God!
Beach resort ... Punta Ballena
Remember this town, I have to come back and enjoy the beach.
Was he famous ? I don't know !
This was the rental car we drove....
Punta del Este at the glimpse.
Viewing platform ...
You really see a lot more once you get up here !
Just a log and very blue sky ...
Endless stretch of beaches
Wine selection at a local supermercado
Gotta be a South American thing. People like big speakers on the roof !
Again, 4 Canadians and 1 Union Member, and 5 fingers
