For more than a year Copperhead and I have told Uruguay’s story as seen through our own eyes on UruguayLiving.com and elsewhere. We have been, and continue to be amazed at the growing interest in this wonderful little country. Apparently we are not the only people who see something special here. But, no matter how [...]
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.
Until further notice, you will find the gang from UruguayLiving/Sociedad Southron every Sunday afternoon from 1PM-4PM (or later) at: El Viejo Y El Mar Rambla Gandhi 400 esquina Solano Garcia. El Viejo Y El Mar has an unsurpassed view of the Rio de la Plata, ease of access (all 1 floor with a ramp), attentive [...]
Yesterday our usual Sunday get-together was moved from its former location to a very nice restaurant right on the Rio at Rambla Gandhi 400, called “El Viejo y El Mar — The Old Man and the Seaâ€; obviously it had been named for me….
In about two hours it will be exactly one year since I set foot on Uruguayan soil for the first time. I arrived at Carrasco International Airport with five suitcases, two wheelchairs and two dogs. I was exhausted from the trip which it started the previous morning in Costa Rica, and included a six hour [...]
What do you get when you mix Hawaiian beef, Chinese chicken, double chocolate cookies, Uruguayan wine, Grappa made from Gewürztraminer grapes, fireworks and incense? I’ll give you a hint: it has something to do with the Moon and the Vernal Equinox, and this coming Wednesday is Ash Wednesday … For those of you who guessed [...]
Just the other day Clara wrote something in the forum about the crime rate seeming to be high when you are the victim. Having been the victim once or twice I completely understand what she means: even if the odds are one in one million and you turn out to be the one, the effective [...]
No red carpet, no walk of fame, no annoying paparazzi, and no outfits that cost more than a house– despite all that we had a good time. The Southron was tastefully dressed in matching green sweatpants and T-shirt, and the couture of the rest of the merrymakers ranged widely.
Someone just pointed out to me that in my previous post about the party hosted by FuBarrio and Golden Lotus and I completely focused on the cuisine and ignored the people. Perhaps I did get just a tad focused on the food… The people at the party included a healthy mix of locals and ex-pats, [...]
Last night I went to a party on Mount Everest–maybe he just seemed like Mount Everest because it was such a climb. It seemed as if the stairs went on forever. My nephew, Nick, acted as my Sherpa, and carried my wheelchair ahead of me so that at every landing I could collapse into it, [...]
