| Montevideo, Uruguay - March 14, 2008 Montevideo is the largest city, capital and chief port of Uruguay |
| Montevideo turned out to be a much different kind of city than Punta Del Este. It is a much older city and looks more like an Italian city. We had a bus tour around the city followed by a wine tasting at one of the local vinyards. |
| Then we were treated to a Tango demonstration by a couple that won some kind of national Tango contest. They were very acrobatic and after they demonstrated three dances they each slected people from the audience to dance with them and it was very funny and entertaining. I didn't get selected even tough I kept raising my hand?? |
| Our next stop was a vineyard where we were given a tour, taught how to evaluate wines and then tasted five of their wines (luckily none of us had to drive back to the ship!!). They also fed us a barbecued lunch with South American favorites (some of them weren't our favorites though) |
| We visited to Uruguay parliament building which is rated fourth most beautiful in the world. It was quite interesting and reminded us of the inside of some cathedrals we have visited in Italy. |
| We took a bus tour around town and we took lots of pictures. The architecture was very interesting. Also, I forgot to include her picture, but our guide was the same one Samantha Brown used on her Latin American sequence. |
