I Loved traveling in Argentina and Uruguay! This time I went with Elena. She is soooo sweet! She took me to see all of my Extended family! I went in May of this year. First I went to Colonia, Urugay and later Elena and I crossed the Rio de La Plata to visit Julian's family in Argentina.I know that I told you about Argentina in a previous blog, but here's a little on Uruguay.
Uruguay is located in the southeastern part of South America. It is home to 3.46 million people. The capital is Montevideo and there are 1.7 million people there! crazy tiny! I loved it!
Colonia del Sacramento is Uruguay's oldest European settlement, and it was founded by the Portuguese in 1680. Montevideo was founded by the Spanish in the early 18th century.
Here I am driving around in Montevideo, Uruguay. Super fun time!
Here I am with Tio Marcelo. He took me around Uruguay and told me about the amazing Tangueros (tango singers) and Dulce de Leche that was first created there. Yum!
Me and Chorizos!!! So tastey!! Everything is fresh and ready to be grilled!
Here I am crossing the Rio de La Plata going to Argentina!
Here I am with Tia Elis. (Elena's sister). We are in Bahia Blanca, Argentina having a delicious coffee!!! I almost couldn't finish mine!
More Chorizos and Asado! I just Couldn't get enough! This was cooked by Tio Cacho (Elena's other brother). It's his Specialty!
Tio Cacho and I. I loved watching him cook!
I got a chance to hang out with Julian's cousin, Lucrecia. What a cool kid!
and while in Cipolletti, Rio Negro, Argentina, I got a tour from Julieta! She's so smart! She's been to Louisiana before, and hopefully soon she'll come to Tucson for a visit too!
What a great trip! I was super tired.... lots of things to see..lots of wonderful foods! South America is Glorious!!!!
