ABC…

I pulled into the supermarket parking lot just after this car. A guy got out with his young daughter, and I complimented him on his perfect license plate ID.

He was delighted, and laughed loudly.

“33” is a big thing in Uruguay, as it is in Masonry. I’m sure there’s no connection…suuuure.

A few blocks from home, waiting to cross the street, I had to wait for a passing car with the license plate ABC 2133. Glitch in the Matrix? On the other hand, it’s not the first license plate strangeness I’ve had here.

Curious van decoration

A technically brilliant, aesthetically inexplicable design on a Swiss van in the Tienda Inglesa parking lot.

It begins. Again, again.

The first German monster-tourism vehicle of the season (yes, German; I did check: the license plate says “D”).

*Sigh* who knows, maybe we’ll get some amusing ones this year. You can see past years’ sightings here: https://expatinuruguay.com/tag/campers/

When it comes to traveling, nothing exceeds like excess!

Off to the dumpster

Other duties as assigned – the four door Renault Duster actually has considerably more cargo space than its four door pickup brother, the Oroch.

Parking is hard

I am a little car, but I identify as a big car, and park accordingly.

El descubrimiento del día

Discovery of the day (after almost 13 years!): when you refill your
CIEMSA peaje “chip” at Abitab, it specifies the expiration date (F.VTO. =
Fecha de vencimiento). No more embarrassing backing out of a toll booth
whose gate won’t open because time has run out. Not that I would know anything about that, of
course.
