This is supposed to be one
of the countries in the Undeveloped World, or is it now part of the Less
Developed World. Maybe the correct term now is the Development-Challenged
World. Third World fell out of vogue when the Second
World, the Soviet Empire, imploded.
Anyway, everyone with
good sense knows that there is nothing anyone has that is better or more
convenient that in the US,
RIGHT?
WRONG!
I hate shopping.
In particular, though I love their consumption, I hate buying groceries.
I rate it somewhere alongside inviting the Jehovah’s Witnesses in for an
intellectual chat or going to a Mormon Coffee klatch, or a Baptist
Oktoberfest (I guess I’ve insulter enough people for now).
Long boring rows of
things you don’t want, don’t need or don’t even have any idea for what it could
be used–that’s grocery shopping. In Costa
Rica, I went once, in Montenegro never. I have been
once here and that is enough.
Anyway, back to the
point. One can shop online for groceries here and they will deliver them
the next day! You can also check prices of various items.
Right now the Yankee Dollar (U$S or USD) will buy 24.25 UY Pesos
(UYU). Here are two links for grocery delivery for you to review.

Chris and I personally
prefer the first one, Tienda Inglesas.
Lastly for now, if you
want to check out our weather, go to
Accuweather.com
for Montevideo.
Gotta go now. Today we’re buying rocks on which to beat the
laundry in the stream out back…
