The best lifestyle in the world for the price… This is the journal of The Southron, an Emigrant from Florida who has spent the last decade living in the West Indies, former Yugoslavia and Costa Rica. He moved to Montevideo, Uruguay at the end of February 2006... |

As you know.my health has been an ongoing challenge for many years. While the health care here was not the reason I moved to Uruguay. it has certainly been a major benefit.
Even in the midst of pain, there was one really humorous situation that I thought would be a good way to restart my missives [...]
It is widely published that Uruguay is the least religious country in South America, that less that 2/3 of the people consider themselves Catholic, and that unlike Argentina, in which Roman Catholicism is the State Religion, Uruguay is a secular State.
But, I beg to differ; at least in part. Uruguay is not very Catholic, but [...]
This morning I started my day with the biggest breakfast change since I gave up bacon for low fat hamburgers. Gone is my well-known a beloved oversized coffee cup, and it is place is the very Uruguayan Maté (gourd into which the Yerba tea is poured) complete with a brand new metal bombilla.
Because yerba maté [...]
This is Harry the Westie again.
I would like to thank the fat guy in the wheelchair for setting the record straight about Lucy and her brats, err, ummm, I mean puppies.
Let me make one thing doggedly clear! I was mislead!!! Someone in the office circulated that cute picture of those adorable little Westie [...]
I think my Westie got a little carried away earlier today and made a few slightly exaggerated claims regarding disputed parentage.
An impartial investigation has presented me with the following evidence.
Sorry Harry!
We have octuplets and they all look like Hassan (the dog from Piriapolis) and Lucy, not a patch of white anywhere…
I guess you’re stuck [...]
Today we have a guest writer.
Hello, My name is Harry and I am a West Highland White Terrier, or “Westie†if you prefer. For the last 7 years I have lived with the fat guy in the wheelchair in a whole bunch of places: some hot, some cold, some ugly, some nice—in most [...]
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 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!
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 [...]
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 [...]
