The weather has been such a mind-boggler for me, because remember: Uruguay is pretty deep into the southern hemisphere. That means that even though it's summer up there now in the United States, it's winter down here! But the winter here is not like the one I'm accustomed to either, with dry air and snow. Instead, it's a humid cold, which can make some days feel relatively warm.

What animals did I see this week? :

You can catch horses walking around randomly in this small town. The gaucho culture goes back centuries. imagine this as being Uruguay and Argentina's version of the cowboy culture we might be familiar with in the States, primarily in Texas, no?

Me quedo a cuadros, I'm just so impressed with the quantity of rain.
