To sum up our beach experience today, Allen said "Just because I see a bikini on the beach does not mean I want to get a closer look." Thong bikini's everywhere but not where they should be. There needs to be some kind of test women should do before they decide that thongs are the way to go. Kinda like you should be able to bounce a quarter off your ass and have it return right away, not have it get stuck in cellulite, or maybe some kind of weight and/or age limit? In some ways we think it is sums up the Uruguayan attitude. Laid back, things happen when they happen, and mostly things happen after 10:00 at night. It is early if you eat at 8:00!
Speaking of eating, last night we went to dinner at the parilla behind Leo and Mecki's house. We were sitting in the outdoor part, and we saw Francisco and Jenny walk by. They saw us so they came over to say hello. Then, we all noticed Leo and Mecki and their two German guests eating inside. Wow. In a city that is huge we meet four people we know. Granted we were in their neighborhood, but we felt like the cool kids that were in the popular crowd. After dinner we all walked to an outdoor concert. By the time we got there it was over. We walked to Leo and Mecki's and had a glass of grappa. Grappa is made from distilled grapes. Basically it is rocket fuel. It is like Mexico has tequila and Uruguay has grappa. We ended up getting home last night 1:00 am. Pretty good for old people. Pretty early by Uruguayan standards.
We are sure we walked 10 miles yesterday.
Today is Sunday and it sure is a lot of work to do nothing.
