Montevideo, Uruguay

It turns out Montevideo is an awesome city. All the guidebooks call it Buenos Aires´ little brother and say it might make a nice side trip. This is the best city we´ve been to on the trip. The people are incredibly friendly - a far cry from Buenos Aires! - the food is great, the weather is better, the beaches are crowded but fun, the mate culture (more on that in a later post, I hope) is second to none, it´s very bike-friendly, and the streets are hopping at night. Unfortunately we´re here only for one night. But it´s incredible how much you can fit into a day. More pictures to come.
