Montevideo, Dia Uno

 We spent a few days in Montevideo recently, between driving my advisors back, and picking the hubs up from the airport a couple days later. Our only full day was spent downtown, between the hotel and going to the university for a meeting with a retired botanist.

Our day in review:

1. Enjoy buffet breakfast at the Sheraton.

 (Including loading up possibly more than one course of pastries, cereal, good bread, cheeses, and fruits)

2. Go to the university (Agronomy Faculty) and have a meeting mostly in Spanish. Admire the old buildings, and have fun walking the halls with other college students. Ignore the funny stares you get as a blonde, white woman walking the halls with locals.

3. Enjoy some free time in Montevideo, and realize the best solution for your exhausted minds is probably popcorn, red wine, and watching Zoolander in Spanish.


4. Go to the recommended restaurant down the block for a late dinner, and feast on white wine or mojitos and lots of delicious sushi. Oh, smoked salmon, how we've missed you! :)
