How about eating your cake and having it too? That was always my goal when I was growing up–actually it was usually pie, ice cream or potato chips; cake was not a special favorite.

Last night Borko and I were having dinner at Cafe Misterio in Carrasco with an attorney friend. We were there mainly so I could have good sushi and Borko didn’t have to endure it. For some reason the only fish he likes is a nasty bottom feeder that only lives in the lakes […]
Last weekend, the Southron was privileged to be the only extranjero invited to a Uruguayan rite of passage for young ladies: Quince Años, the 15 year old’s birthday party.

Considering the price, the provider and the location, everything should have been first class…

The first thing […]
While sitting here in my office and staring into the fog on the Rio de la Plata I had a vision….
At first I was in a place that seemed a pleasant enough, but no matter how hard I tried it there were always obstacles that I had to climb over–the harder I climbed, the more […]
In what some will undoubtedly see as yet another nefarious attempt to Anglicize Uruguayan society, to UruguayLiving.com gang will be sponsoring a “Cinco de Mayo” party on Saturday, May 5, starting at 6 p.m., at our offices in Buceo.
Appropriate Mexican food and drinks will be served. Please feel free to bring along any of your […]
