Cory and headed back to Montevideo on Wednesday March 11th to get our passports at the US Embassy. First I have to tell you we made it without getting pulled over by a police officer. I drove with both hands on the wheel, lights on, didn't run any yellow lights, and had all of our documentation with us. We were ready if we did. The only thing we wanted to see and do while we were in Montevideo is to go to this huge indoor Parrilla (BBQ). We had heard this was the place to go if you wanted Carne (meat) and more Carne (meat). It is a huge building that is kind of outdoor/indoor. Inside there are rows and rows of Parrilla's (see pic above). You basically just pick one and sit down and start to order right off the grill. For $45 Cory and I ordered...Chorizo (sausage), Kingclip (fish) w/ roquefurt cheese sauce, Lomo (Flitet Mignon) 16 oz, 2 liters of beer, bread, salad, and papa frita's (french fries), that also included tip! Yummy! We were so stuffed and hot from sitting in front of the parrilla! Oh yeah, we also had some stuffed pork thing a guy from Canada ordered next to us and he couldn't eat all of it. I do have to say the steaks here are AMAZING and cheap for the size you get! I thought of many family members who would of died and gone to heaven in a place like this. If you ever make it to Uruguay, this is a must stop place! This is one of our highlights of the trip!
