Elder Aviña and I about to go out in the heavy rain! My rain gear works very well. The rain is crazy and beautiful here!!! (We think he looks very tan for an Olivier!)
La bandera Uruguaya -- from today, at a tiny uninteresting museum
A curious breakfast sandwich given by the members of the bakery.
The food here is good, but strangely bland and always fatty. There´s lots of milanesa (thin, fried meat), rice, eggs, fideas con tuco (noodles with sauce and meat), and other stuff that I don´t have names for. Uruguay has a strange obsession with mayonesa (can´t remember how to spell that in english) -- they use it with almost everything in somewhat large quantities. Also: Dulce de leche is fantastic and everywhere. And alfajores are delightful and truly dangerous. They´re like an oreo from heaven, but not macarons . . . they´re cheaper and bigger, but quite good.
