Montevideo, Uruguay

Bright and early on Monday morning we pulled into Montevideo's harbor.

After breakfast on the aft deck, we walked down the gangplank to the dock.

We found Montevideo to be a very nice city, and would like to come back again someday.

We walked downtown to the main square.


Mate is the way tea is taken in southern South America. Everyone in Montevideo seemed to have a cup of mate.



The city had a quaint charm, like this horse-drawn carriage taking a family to its destination.


Children playing on the sidewalk.

We stopped by the U.S. Embassy, located across the street from a beautiful bay.




Back on the ship, we had a late lunch.


As the boat pulled out into the open Atlantic, we found a special folded towel creation on our bed, with a reminder of the time change that night.
