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 food favorite of Faina

made of chickpea flower instead of flower and fried in oil.

Sept 7: barley, hops too

Sept 7: beers we tasted

I was at the event as part of an expat group, internations.org

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: 3 hours east looking back at my place
