Llamadas in String

 The two portrait oriented ones are smaller; the landscape is bigger.  We saw these in the market on our last Saturday ... and the movers still hadn't packed us out... Besides, the price was only 700 pesos for the set.

Cafe Martinez

Just a drink on a cold, rainy wet moving day at Cafe Martinez.  Andreas had a strawberry milkshake; I had a mocha cappucino.

More Souvenirs

Some little things picked up at Mercado del Artesanos.

Some Like Moving

...more than others.  Tux likes the boxes everywhere stage.

Pencils, Crochet Hooks, Pastels...

Things to put in these cases we found at Mercado del Artesanos.  One more set of stuff for the packers to pack...

Last Dinner at La Pulperia

 Early in July, we had an accidental American flashmob at La Pulperia.  We took over the entire very  small place with about 25 of us.   Here's a picture of the interior, and the rest are of our dinner.  Yum!

Horns!

Can't leave Uruguay without some horn serving accessories... so they were bought as the movers didn't pack...

Nice Cut

When we were out and about waiting for the packers, Andreas found this nice cutting board and knife set.  I think he bought it for the case, though.

The Flood

Just two weeks before we left Uruguay, there was a huge deluge.  In about an hour, we got three inches of rain.  Here, pictures of our never-before-flooded passageway.  It was the mess it looks in the pictures because we were getting ready to move.

Asado, Welch Style

 Some pictures from one of our last asados.  As you can see, lots of food and some fun.  The silly man with the peeps is Saint, and, since it was just after Easter, we decided to try peep s'mores.  They were a bit ... messy.

Salt Crystals

Little things you notice at the beach on a cold and windy day.  These were all taken on our visit to Atlantida in June

Perfect

This is the perfect frame for one of Andreas' photos.  He saw it at Hecho Aca and had to have it.

Last of the Prado

Just a few more random pictures from the Semana Santa rodeo and exhibition.  It was a fun outing.

Temari for Adriana

 I gave temari to all my Uruguayan girlfriends before leaving.  This is the one I made for Adriana.

Espresso Set

It's to go with the cafeteria.  This is what happens when the movers don't finish on time...

Formula Three

One of the local cobbling companies sponsors a Formula 3 car.  It races the Argentine circuit, which usually has two events a year in Uruguay.

Found at Last

 I've been wanting a cow fur purse well... since before I got here.  Andreas was pretty adamant in his "no" because he hates them, but eventually I wore him down to a position of "Okay, one.  But I have to approve it so it's not too ugly."  We've been searching for three months or so now, and finally I spotted the perfect one at a leather stall in Parque Rodo on Sunday.  It's mine now!  Rather a classic design and not overly loud.  I like it.

Starting Early

So, the playground is to make Betsy cringe.  It's pretty bad, safety-wise.  The next shot is of some of the shops about, and the rest of the series is a little girl on a mechanial bull.  They start early here.  You can rent them for birthday parties...
