The capital of Uruguay is a relatively small city compared to Buenos Aires and Rio. That is, as we remember those cities, since both of them were cancelled on this trip. A couple of side bars: First, Uruguay likes to play around with their neighbors! Uruguay likes to be #1 when at all possible. It says they are #1 in the world in the most meat eaten person.- they have so many cattle, etc., that the meat is relatively inexpensive for locals so maybe their thoughts are true. Uruguayans have free healthcare if you forget about the taxes they pay to make it "free". Their health care system is also fairly good.
The semitropical climate allows lots of beautiful plantings in the public areas.

The oxen are not crooked in this picture.
They are headed for the waterhole, and we are headed for home.
