Arica is a desert city on the northern coast of Chile. It’s just a few miles from Peru, a few hours to Bolivia, and sunny almost every day. I’ve been here for a few weeks and it’s really growing on me. Lots of fun people and everything is relaxed.
El Morro, a big hill. It takes […]

Montevideo is a cool, under-rated city in Uruguay. I stayed there for about 5 weeks. It has decent beaches and a European feel.
Pocitos is a nice area of Montevideo with beaches and restaurants.
Uruguayan students at a bar near the main university. They sell 1 liter bottles of beer.
A standard parrillada. They eat lots of meat […]

My favorite game, the “guess which cup has the ball game!” They were talking in Spanish, so I couldn’t quite tell what their scam was. My guess is that they were playing the game straight, but paying out with fake money because I could always guess the right cup. They sure did draw in a […]

I took a trip to the center of Uruguay for the annual “Semana Cerveca.” Well, the name was a bit of a tease because it resembled a county fair more than the raging spring break party that I was expecting. I did meet lots of cool people. For some reason, tons of teenagers wanted to […]

Punta del Este in a famed beach resort. Rich Argentinians go there and it almost felt like California or Florida in Uruguay. There was bad weather so I didn’t see the thongs that I was hoping to, but still had fun. After that we hopped a bus to Punta del Diablo, a small fishing village […]

I’m learning Spanish in Montevideo, Uruguay. It’s amazing in about a week I can speak better than I could after taking a semester of Spanish in college, and at just a fraction of the cost. It made me think that colleges really need to get off their high horse and realize that stuffing 20some people […]

it was sweet, fun, precise, and totally awesome. I traveled through Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile with some friends. One of the guys was about 6′7 so everybody was staring at
us. I’d like to travel through other parts of South America but I don’t want to get vaccines or take malaria drugs. I also don’t want […]

I took a glider flight over Miami, the keys and the Everglades. A glider has no engine and just two people. It floats in the air and is flown up in a tow plane. We started at 3000 ft, caught a thermal up to 5000, did a few flips, took a tour of the area, […]
