Copa America

 To celebrate Uruguay's participation in the Copa America, an international soccer tournament, Punta Carretas Shopping did an exhibit of this sports artist.  All the pictures represent Uruguay's national team in some way.  They're beautiful close up.  And Uruguay won the tournament while we were in Buenos Aires!

Great Big Friendship

The fourth part of the heart is done ... now on to the fifth.

Wallets!

Yet more "the movers didn't pack up quick enough" shopping - two leather wallets.  They're beautiful quality and hold up really well.  We've bought from this guy at the feria before.

Raffi's

 Yes, real Armenian food in Uruguay!  There's a fairly significant Armenian community in Montevideo, and there are restaurants dotted around the city.  One of  the best is Raffi's.  Here's a picture of some of what we ate during our last week in Uruguay.  Andreas had the cabbage rolls; I had the mixed shish.  They were good, if very mild.

Tiny Temari

This is the smallest temari I've ever made - it's less than two inches in diameter.  I used Wildflowers cotton on it, and think it came out pretty well.

Ready to Travel

Mattie looks surprisingly chipper on her last day in Montevideo.  She's made it here, but I think she wants to go back.  It's far, far too hot for her here.

Sushi and Parilla...

A picture taken solely for the amusement factor ... on San Jose in Montevideo.
