Going Huge in Uruguay



After five or so nights in BA, we struck out for Uruguay. I guess I thought Uruguay would be fairly provincial, lower income and less appointed. All wrong. It's totally posh and infallibly gorgeous.

We flew to Montevideo, and rented a car, driving about 200 KM to Jose Ignacio, which is kind of like Montauk meets Nantucket. With Guachos.

Strong hire for those considering a junket to SA.

My favorite new airport

Approaching our quarters in Laguna Garcon, the place appears African

Los Huelos, the only joint bumping in Jose Ignacio

I imagine this is what Iceland looks like, on its sunny day
