After a very quick trip from Montevideo, we crossed the Rio Dayman in the Departmento of Salto and were immediately in the vicinity of the Termas de Dayman (Dayman Hot Springs).
A few hundred meters from the river was the rental agent from whom we had arranged our accommodations. We had 4 cabañas and a […]
Last Friday the UruguayLiving staff and dates went to a Nostalgia Night (La Noche de Nostaligia) at a party center at about Kilometer 13 on Ruta 5–it was hosted by one of the major hotels and cost US$50 per person.
Considering the price, the provider and the location, everything should have been first class…
WRONG!
The first thing […]
I posed that question to a cultural attaché in the Yankee Embassy this week. Her response was, “No, we have the Fourth of July instead”. At that point I could not resist asking her, “What day do you have between the 17th and the 19th?”

Today marks the 10th Fourth of July since I moved outside the United States. Over the years I have been questioned about that move and about my continued foreign residence.
It all started for business purposes. But over the years, I became more distant from the US—each time I returned it felt more and […]

Appropriate Mexican food and drinks will be served. Please feel free to bring along any of your […]
If one is going to be sick I highly recommend having a fever.
A fever keeps you warm, it gently blends reality and hallucinations into a fabric that can keep you amused for hours; best of all, it’s is a wormhole in time that transports you from “before” to “after” without having to bother with all […]
In keeping with our rapidly developing tradition of finding any plausible reason to throw a party, the UruguayLiving crowd will be hosting a Saint Patrick’s Day party at our new offices this Saturday beginning at 9PM.
Directions at: http://www.sociedadsouthron.net/forums/ … f=12&t=546
The traditional green beer and Jameson’s Whiskey will be provided, as will the less traditional […]
After months of waiting, the printed version of “The Southron’s Guide to Living in Uruguay” is finally available online at: http://www.lulu.com/content/579686.
This is a full-sized, 8½ x 11 inch paper back, with color covers and black-and-white inside. Because of its large size is much easier to read than the pocket-sized edition produced locally. The price for […]
What do you get when you mix Hawaiian beef, Chinese chicken, double chocolate cookies, Uruguayan wine, Grappa made from Gewürztraminer grapes, fireworks and incense?

For those of you who guessed Carnival or […]
