Uruguay

Our South American adventure is coming to a close.

So we went to Uruguay last week.

We bussed three hours east of Montevideo to a tiny town on the sea called La Paloma. There are no stoplights there.

We rented a little beach house overlooking the ocean. It was fantastic.

The place was called the Wanda House. The owner's brother wrote a song here called Al otro lado del río. It was on the soundtrack to the Motorcycle Diaries and won the Academy Award for Best Original Song. Gael García Bernal stayed here once as well. It was definitely a magical place.
