Day 15

Published out of order, This should be the 26th day - blogger is not great for managing posts.

I'm feeling more comfortable here (as Finghín said I would). I used the bus system today for the first time and Swiss born Judy was the only taker of the group to join me on my experience.

We met in Ciudad Viejo and I was hungry so we went to a very nice restaurant where I got Desayuno Americano snd it was nothing like an American breaky🤣 Ot was good and the place had a cool vibe.

We went next by bus to Estradio Belvedere where my favorite Uruguayan futbol team, Liverpool FC,
Los Negros de la Cuchilla, play. The name roughly mean The Black Blades. But one friend said it meano"The Hooligans" 🤣
We could not get into the stadium and to ne honest, it's in a really rundown part of tge coty and the stadium itself nakes any highschool stadium look like SoFi. They are moving to a new stadium in 2027 so hopefully it will nice and shiny like this on eas when it was built in 1915.

I then wanted to go to the Juan Blanes Museum but we had to taxi because the bus was going to be delayed. We made it but it was closed 🫤 0 for 2. It will be open Thursday at 7 so I'll report them 🫡
By that time Judy was hungry so we went to La Fonda for an early dinner 
La Fonda is on an awesome calle se llama Sarandi and it's very nice to stroll for blocks looking at old and new things (cosas) and there are many bistro cafes, all with outdoor seating 👍🏼

Now I'm back at my flat extremely tired and hot and sweaty 🥵

I cannot I'm keep my eyes open chicos 😵 Hasta proxima ❤️

The last day. One month flew by and so many feelings. A lot of gratitude to all the friends I've met here Silvie, Patrick, Jutta, Judy, Warren, Sara Jane, Rob, and especially my teacher these last two weeks Ana Sofia Castella one of, if not the best, teachers I've ever had. Montevideo is an enigma in a way. The local people are unusually kind, at least have been to me, very easy to know, and yetbthe city is in so much need. There are a great many homeless and the streets are cluttered with litter, which makes the experience so mixed. I will take away a lot personally. I want to have this experience again, soon, and I'm thinking Cusco, Peru. Today's final lesson Sofia concluded with a song from Jorge Derxler, Uruguayan songwriter and performer, with Emmys, an Oscar, and other awards and accolades (super interesting life). 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...
