First stop Uruguay

For two days we wandered around the ship, caught a tango show onboard, won $50 on slots and ate a lot of food.

Unfortunately, Bruce is feeling a bit under the weather; so we are not in full swing. Today, we landed in Uruguay, a little late due to other vessel issues and a medical emergency. The captain said we will stay a little later so we can enjoy Montevideo.

The architecture was interesting; some old and some new. We visited the Cathedral Metropolitan. I love visiting old churches in other countries.

We spent a little time saying some prayers. Then I took some photos. A group of novice priests was visiting the Cathedral.

We stopped at a cafe for treats. The Uruguayan peso is 39 pesos to the dollar. Luckily, I have a currency converter that I use on my phone.

I always found the story of the Uruguayan Rugby Team that crashed in the Andes in 1972 fascinating. A museum was set up, originally only temporary but now a permanent museum. It was very interesting to read about the players and all passengers on the flight.

On our walk back to the ship, we came upon a wall from the old city.

Uruguay was a fascinating place. We wish we had more time!
