Well, I'm here in Montevideo, and today was the semi-final match between Uruguay and the Netherlands. The city set up a huge tv screen in the main plaza, and thousands of Uruguayans came out to watch the game there. I went too, and while Uruguay lost 2-3, it was an awesome experience and definitely was a crazy time. I'll put up a little video clip once I get to a faster internet connection.
I also walked around the city quite a bit, and it is a great place, very chill, and has beautiful old buildings and architecture. I would definitely recommend it, and I'm glad I'm coming back for at least a night. The Uruguayans make all their "ll" and "y" sound like "sh", so it's a lot of fun listening to their accents. La plasha estaba sheno de Uruguashans. Also, the weirdest thing about walking around today was the lack of stray dogs. I only saw two all day, and it is so weird after being in Chile for four months.
Tomorrow I head out early to get to Argentina, and we'll see what adventures await!
