As you know, there is an informal expat gathering on Sunday afternoon in Pocitos.
Weather permitting, The Southron and at least several other members of this community will be there for sure this coming Sunday 5 November to Celebrate: the end of US Daylight Saving Time, or the Upcoming End of the US Silly Season on […]
After 8 months the time has come to find a more permanent place for the Southron and company. This is NOT as easy as you may think. In addition to the usual parameters of price, safety, lack of vermin, water, electricity and phones, I have just a few added requirements:

Thanks to the hard work of our webmaster in Hercegovina, Goran Popović (and you thought we just had people in UY), www.UruguayLiving.info has a new look.It is well on its way to becoming a virtual yellow pages of places people and organizations offering services in the English language in Uruguay.

If you are in most of North America or Europe, you will be going off of Daylight Saving/Summer Time tomorrow morning at 02.00. This means you get an extra hour of sleep before Church in the morning–including those of you who will have communion at the 19th hole. But it also means that […]
It may not be a tough as giving birth, but it sure was a lot of work. The file was created on 22 July 2006, at 11:25:02. The last modification was made this morning (I hope). In just a few days less than 100, The Southron’s Guide to Living in Uruguay has […]

The Southron’s Guide to Living in Uruguay is within days of completion, and a bad case of “not seeing the forest for the trees” has reared its ugly head–I just realized that I have put NO RESTAURANT recommendations in the book.
Can you imagine that? Me, writing a book without a restaurant list… […]
Today Uruguay celebrated the effective discovery of America by that intrepid Italian Navigator Christopher Columbus. I remember, when I was a boy, he was a hero. But that was before the forces of political correctness went after him.Thank God there doesn’t seem to be any of that here. Leif Ericson may have found the America’s […]
Uruguay may be an OK place for you. It is not quite Mississippi where the Gunslinger Law rules the land (courtesy of my friend Ken Stribling–late of the MS Legislature), but better than many States, not to mention some of our Anglo-Saxon cousins.
Let me preface this by saying that I have never felt safer anywhere […]
I have noticed a phenomenon which, while personally gratifying, is not good for the development of the blog. Many of you are writing to me personally, rather than posting a comment on the blog.
I realize that many of these emails are personal and I try to respond to all of them, except for the […]
