Hola Familia and Amigo's
We have had quite a week exploring Uruguay. As I mentioned it is a beautiful country filled with alot of culture. It is more than just nice beaches where rich Argentinians go to vacation during their summer months. Below are pictures of what we have been doing. The weather has been really hot the late part of last week, 88ish with high humdity of 94% or so. Great days to spend at the beach. The other days we have been exploring.

A little exciting news. Last Friday the 13th we went to Carnival in downtown Punta Del Este and Karen went with us. So this was the first night where we were all gone at the sametime. Well...we got broken into. They were smart robbers. They climbed up the backside of the house onto our master bedroom balcony, used a crow bar to break the lock (french doors), the alarm goes off, they pry the safe off the wall in the closet, throw it down, and leave with the entire safe! They did nothing else. Well, they didn't have time with the alarm blarring and they new the police would be on their way. They were looking for money. I just put $200 in the safe of US$ because I didn't want to take it with me. However our passports were in there as well. So, now we have to go to the US Embassy in Montevideo and get new passports! Crazy! Not a good feeling to get home at 2am and have your landlord waiting for you. I guess this is what happens when you visit high tourist areas. I don't want to just accept it, but what are you suppose to do. Thankfully we did everything right. Didn't keep alot of cash in the house and I we carry copies of our passports with us. On the good side we get to go to Montevideo!

Enjoy the pics!
