Walkway, dunes

New walkway through the dunes, Atlántida, Uruguay. Much better quality than those of a few years ago.

I think not.

7 October 2019: the Intendencia clears out a popular brush dumping area and thinks a sign, in the absence of anywhere else to put brush, is going to make a difference.

Phone camera doesn’t catch it

Crossing the dunes at twilight, a distinct bright reflection to the east near Piriápolis, 45 km away.

Sure sign that summer approaches

Sunset this evening

So typical…

Trying to find someone to install a rear-view camera in our car, one of dozens of extras that aren’t included because this is Uruguay. Prices range from USD 300 to USD 190, and require spending the day in Montevideo, never my first choice.

Couple days ago, on a whim ask in a local car alarm/stereo store. Sure, he can do it: USD 120. And walking distance from home!

Get there this morning, and he tells me he can’t because special plug, USD 365 camera blah blah blah.

Flooded field

Dog ventures into flooded field. Bright specks are from sunlight.

Say what?

Ridiculous? Unless this little truck has hydraulics I can’t even imagine how it got up the ramp to the Tienda Inglesa parking lot, much less navigates speed bumps and legion potholes (pozos) after the recent rains.

Morning spring sky, Uruguay

A feather…

…in the yard, standing upright in the grass. How — ?
