Sept 9: Elevator with Luis operating
one of the nicest fellows working the "ascensores" in my building
Sept 9: typical elevator system in Uruguay and Argentins
This is in my building and requires two people full time to operate. The monthly fees to the building's residents are quite healthy I am sure. It is part of the country's socialistic full employment culture.
Sept 8: Local Beer Tasting Event
It is amazing for a country of 3.4million, that Uruguay should have an artisan beer industry. My tastes are limited to IPAs with lots of hoppiness. While it was fun tasting pilsners, porters, stouts and IPA; I wasnt that taken with the beer here.
Sept 6: Looking back toward Pocitos.
My apartment is near the point. It was such a beautiful day, I walked for three hours to Carrasco. That is where the wealthier folks with families live
Sept 3: Local Basketball
I saw a really competitive game between these two clubs. Basketball is popular here after soccer. My first day in Montevideo I came across this young American who had played for a Division 1 college basketball team Furman College. He was now living day to day down here in Montevideo hoping to get onto one of these clubs, teaching English and spinning records in the interim.
Sept 2: Renewable Energy?
This professional knife sharpner uses his bike's rear wheel to run a sharpening stone. He sits on the bike seat in reverse, peddles the bikes rear tire, and sharpens the blade while cycling the stationary bike. It looked to me the bike doubles for a regular transportation bike.
