Mari and I arrived safe and sound in Uruguay. We are now staying in a small suburb of Montevideo, the capital. The neighborhood is known as Malvine. Mari´s parents, Ruy and Lucy, live here - in a nice 2 bedroom condo.



The house is full of old photos - like this one. Look how cute Mari was as a child!


When we arrived home Mari´s nephew, Matias, was staying over. Matias is 3 years old and is not much of a talker. They recently took him to a see the doctor and found that he has liquid in both his ears. I am not exactly sure what this means, but he will be heading into surgery in less than a week to hopefully fix the problem. Poor little guy.

We are eating well thanks to Ruy´s cooking. And can finally sit back and relax for a bit. Since we arrived on Saturday, we need to wait until Monday for Mari to see the doctor. She has an appointment bright and early tomorrow morning. I dont know if this is a consultation, or a surgery appointment, but we are ready for either. Wish her luck.
