Montevideo, Uruguay

    Well it was an interesting experience departing from Buenos Aires one night and waking up in Montevideo the next morning. But none the less I was excited to be in another country. Unfortunately I was sick the whole port so I did not get to do much... but what I have heard from friends aboard the ship is that it was a city that did not have much to offer. So if I was to be ill in a port of call it was this one.

    The first day in Montevideo I took a city tour. This tour took me all around to the most important monuments and buildings. It is such a small city that it did not take all that long but I was able to see a lot of cool things with out any issues.  After the tour was over I went back to the ship and called it a day.

The second day in Montevideo I went and found some WIFI and bought some medicine in hope I would start feeling better soon. I did some walking around the town and it was a nice little area. There were a lot of open air markets and people just roaming around with their mate. Mate is a tea that is extremely popular in South America... personally I think it tastes like dirt... LITERALLY!

The last day in Uruguay I have a service visit to a local school where I helped repaint a greenhouse, plant flowers and hang out with the children. It was pretty awesome. The school had a whole vegetable garden that is managed by the children. It was nice to lend my hand to something constructive.

This picture is of the greenhouse that we helped fix up.
