Montevideo , Uruguay

Hello from Montevideo !! What an absolutely gorgeous day!!! We sailed last night from Buenos Aires, and although we sailed 3 hours late (fuel barge showed up 3 hours late) it was no big deal since it is such a short distance across the Platte River to Montevideo. In fact, ferry boats make the crossing in an hour so it sort of boggles the mind as to how we could sail slowly enough to not arrive until 7:00am this morning!

We had our driver and guide meet us at 10:00 am this morning for a half day tour of the city. Since we were here only a year ago, our guide did a good job of showing us a few new things and refreshing our memories for facts we'd forgotten! This afternoon the ship had a local Tango dance company come aboard for a show. I went to the show and Bill went to tea! (Scones are hard to resist, but he did go to the gym right after tea!). Duffy didn't answer her door so I thought maybe she was snoozing and went on to the show myself! Little did I know that she came down all on her own and was sitting in the back. She didn't see me. The upshot was that we both enjoyed the show and Bill loved his scones and working out!! A happy day for all of us!! We're at sea the next two days so probably not much news until after our first day in Rio!! Back with everyone then!
