Uruguay is one of the top producers of amethyst. You can find some beautiful stones here. We bought these two necklaces two weeks ago, and I'm not giving either away. They're mine!
If you look closely at this picture, you'll see it's rather ironic. The rest are of architecture around Ciudad Vieja and the last of the firehouse pictures.
At last, page one is done. Only eight more to go.
Uruguayan firefighting uniforms past and present for various situations from HAZMAT to forest fires. And, below, the firetrucks to take them where needed.
As part of our leaving preparations, we visited Casa Turistica in Plaza Independencia. Andreas bought more knives. Our friend Leo told us about this place. You have to ask for the knives to see them - they're behind the counter in an old box. Anyway, two more personal knife and fork sets bought, one serving knife and fork, and one carving knife.
They're somewhat expensive, but unlike most knives in the country, they're hand forged - and about a tenth the price of the antique ones.
I am disappointed in myself this week. I didn't manage to complete another house. Two are getting close, but nope, not finished.
Magela made and gave to me these wonderful gifts! She did the woodburning and painting both. Aren't they great? I'll treasure them always. Thank you Magela.
