Montevideoooooo!

Don't know why, but somewhere deep inside I feel like Montevideo should be spoken with long drawn out vowels as if it were a prize on "The Price is Right." Go on, try it.

So we're here, in the capital city and I already like it a lot. Full disclosure, in the breakfast room of the hostel in Colonia, there was a cheesy sepia-tone portrait of the Flatiron Building (why?) and it made me rather misty. I miss you NYC. ( Image, almost in sepia tone, of washing breakfast dish at hostel. GLAM!)


But Montevideo with its 1. something million inhabitants, contains some verifiable hustle and bustle and most of all, there is VARIETY! There are museums, and crappy old cars, and shiny new cars, and clothing stores and architecture and some random horses, and a big port. There's even a place that sells kebabs. Chicken Kebabs!


Here's a sneak preview of a post that I hope to have some more starling entries for by the end of the trip. I call it, South American Mannequins of Horror. More to come....
