The turkeys are […]

Last weekend several of the UruguayLiving gang, The Southron included, trekked to Piriápolis for the social event of the Spring: Ken’s “Open House”. Ken had asked us to bring some ice along; which seemed innocuous enough, until we had made six stops on the eastern side of Cerro San Antonio (St. Anthony’s Hill) without […]

Best and most important news: UruguayDailyNews.com has begun!
