After writing that last update I went out with the brasileños and danced samba, salsa, ska, techno, this two-step Brasilian dance whose name I forget, etc. in a bunch of Montevideo milongas. I stayed out dancing until about 5:45am (the parties were still going because it was Friday). Then I got back and slept for about 15 minutes before someone`s alarm woke me up - time to catch the early bus to Punta del Este!
In Punta del Este, we saw a gigantic sculpture of a hand on the beach, walked around the beach and went to the port to see the sea lions, saw a gigantic Casino, etc. I caught the bus to nearby Punta Baranella (sp?) to see the Casapueblo (giant house/castle/art studio) of legendary Uruguayan artist Carlos Pàez Vilarò. I barely take pictures of anything, but I took a lot there because ¡còmo no chè!
When I got back from Punta del Este last night I fell straight asleep (okay, after playing music and singing with two Spanish dudes who had started a Spanish 50s rock band and a Belgian guy who just drove a car across Africa for charity) and then woke up today at 2pm.
Rock and Roll and Peñarol,
Charly, ever the token North American
