Montevideo, Uruguay


This place is amazing! Its a pretty big city but i bet that it is because Montevideo is the capital. I went to some local restaurants and the food is incredible. They have things like Churrascos (Grilled Steak), Parrillada (Grilled Beef), and i had this really good steak sandwhich called a Chivito. So i guess they are really big on beef here. I attended this local open-pit barbecue which was really fun.


Its really warm here too. I think the average temperature this spring has been around 72.4 degrees. I drove through Ciudad Vieja (Picture above of this historic negihborhood) and visited Museo del Gaucho del la Maneda (Museum of Cowboy and Money). This is an important part of Uruguay's history because it shows all the past currencies and stories about their pastime civilians which were mostly cowboys. Well thats all for day one, keep checking in for my day two blog!
