Montevideo Suburb, Atlantida...
we headed east an north and followed Ruta 1 up the Rio de la Plata and then the Atlantic Ocean. Antlantida is a nice suburb of Montevideo.
once out of the city proper, neighborhood streets (even upper income areas) were well maintained dirt roads. No washboarding ever.
a fuzzy pic of the beach along Atlantida .
I also wanted you to see the roof thatching they use on about 20% of the homes. this one was just finished.
Montevideo in pictures...
This is a beautiful modern "european style" city is a lot like buenas aires, smaller and slightly quieter.
we were originally greeted with showers and some thunder and lightning. we loved it. the weather here flies through fast since there are no high mountain chains to blockk or slow the moving weather patterns.
this is La Rambla that runs all the way around the city.
a typical beautiful street. Uruguayans really love trees as much as Argentinians.
Uruguay,,,my new land
hi everyone. we've been too damn busy running here and looking there to get any of our pics up so you can see the Extraordiarily Beautiful place that's Uruguay. Onward...

Jilted Bride Turns Reception into Halloween Party for Senior Citizens
via gimundo.com
For Teanne Harris, who’d spent months planning her fun and festive October 31st wedding, Halloween was meant to be the happiest day of her life. But not long before the planned nuptials, the groom got cold feet and backed out.
Harris, of course, was devastated. But after finding out that she wouldn’t be able to get a refund on any of her deposits for the big day, she and her mother decided to make the best of a bad situation—and donate the entire reception to a senior citizens’ center across the street from the catering hall in Des Plaines, Ill., where it was meant to be held.
