As part of “regularizing” our house, plumber needs to add vent pipe. Instead of measuring down from window to calibrate inside and outside, assumes floor is at same level. Arrow indicates where hole ended up being.

Restaurant for lunch in Montevideo

La Corte restaurant, Montevideo, Uruguay

Crazy-busy lunch place on three levels. Plaza Constitución. Source of shoe photo. Lunch specials are good, especially if you use a gringo credit card and get 18% (reciprocal of 22% IVA) knocked off the bill.

Rincón, near Plaza Constitución. Horrible street (like most of them), but this is pretty cool.
