The best lifestyle in the world for the price… This is the journal of The Southron, an American 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... |

Last night I went to a birthday party Piriápolis. I arrived fairly early, getting there a bit after midnight. (Parties only really get going here at midnight and run until dawn the next day, or even later.) Being old and feeble, I left around 2:15 a.m.. Riding home on the main highway along the coast, […]
Yesterday, the intrepid crew of the newly arrived land yacht, the Blue Bullet, set off on a shakedown cruise into undiscovered country. Borko was at the helm, I was navigating, and Harry was our security officer (when he wasn’t barking at the livestock, he was testing which of the three seats in the back […]
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 […]
I had wanted to visit the Hot Springs in Salto since the beginning of the Winter. So when the providential confluence occurred of a server upgrade and a bank holiday for US Dollars (on US Labor Day), we decided to close the office for a long weekend and take the staff and spouses to […]
This past Saturday was so lovely that Borko and I decided to go for a little drive.
The fact that we had rain driven by intermittent gale force winds did not deter us. After all, we would be snug inside the Land Rover. The fact that there was no sun was a positive bonus […]
While digging through the mound of e-mail that has collected in my inbox I found what might be a real gem: www.coastaluruguay.com.
The gentleman who sponsors that website, Steve Bowman, was kind enough to write me and tell me about. I took a look at it and realized that it has some useful information in an […]
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 […]
This past Sunday, I decided to take my new “crip” scooter to our forum group gathering at Old Maz deli for the second time–but this time I decided to do it the hard way. By “the hard way”, I mean making the trip on the sidewalks, rather than the easy way, which is going the […]
Montevideo is literally crawling with taxis. Day or night you can see them cruising almost everywhere in the city.
UL member Clara (our favorite Uruguaya-Californian) very neatly described how one can easily get a taxi in Montevideo. In the forum she wrote, “Call 141 from your home number (also works with cell but then […]
It may not be a tough as giving birth, but it sure was a lot of work. The file was created on 22 July 2006, at 11:25:02. The last modification was made this morning (I hope). In just a few days less than 100, The Southron’s Guide to Living in Uruguay has […]
