Montevideo is such a beautiful city. The architecture in blend of old and new, and gives the city a personality distinct from its Rioplatense neighbor Buenos Aires. Here are some photos I shot in downtown and Ciudad Vieja:
I love the juxtaposition of new reflecting old.
There is a fountain with a legend that states if a couple carves their initials into a padlock and locks it around the fountain, their love will be locked forever in time. How precious, no?
And then I saw a couple doing it!

Uruguay´s beloved author Mario Benedetti passed away on May 17, and his body was on display for people to come and say goodbye. I am glad I had the opportunity to go.

Right now I am in Punta del Este, a beach town about an hour and a half outside Montevideo. I am staying with friends and will be here for a few days, and then I will return to Montevideo before I go to Minas to visit another friend. ¡Hasta pronto!
