Day 0

Howdy, or I guess Hola!

I'm traveling to Uruguay today and here's the flight itinerary:
SFO-Houston UA2483
Houston-Panama UA1034
Panama-Montevideo UA7143
door-to-door 30 hours 😵

I've wanted to go to Uruguay for years and as this being my 70th time around I decided it was time to go!

I'm going to study Spanish at Academia Uruguay in the capital city Montevideo and staying with a family to "enrich" my experience! 

I'm going to blog daily and hopefully add photos and things for those who want to follow along.

Hasta pronto!

The song was Todo se Transforma and the chorus ends with Cada uno da lo que recibe Y luego recibe lo que da Nada es más simple No hay otra norma Nada s...
