Would it be tacky to note in passing that IL's Uruguay expert lves in Ecuador and the Real Estate experts live in Argentina?
Making Book on Uruguay - corrected hopefully
Posted by southron on August 27th, 2006Living in Uruguay is a story worth telling and I have decided to do that even more completely than on this blog.
I have started writing The Southron's Guide to Living in Uruguay. Health permitting, it will be finished and available electronically by the end of September. Since you have helped me create this phenomenon, I wanted you to participate in the book as well. What follows is my outline.
Choosing Well: the case for moving to Uruguay

It ain’t Ellis Island…
Posted by southron on August 8th, 2006Yesterday was one of the ugliest days I have experienced since moving here. It was foggy, rainy, windy and cold. Of course, that was the day appointed for the Copperhead and I to officially begin our residency application process. There are no appointments for this process. You just show up, take a number and wait.
The Southon and Heavy Air
Posted by southron on August 5th, 2006This past week I started the treatment for the Staph infection in my leg that has dogged me for 6 years. I am being treated with a relatively new and highly succesful technique involving oxygen under pressure. I have been reading about it for a few years and have wanted to try it, but couldn't get it done in such technologically backwards places as Florida…
Winter is a Foggy Notion here
Posted by southron on August 5th, 2006If I were to send you photos of the local walking down the street, you might think you were in Boston, Yorkshire, Hamburg, or many Antarctica.
