Uruguayan Road Trip

We packed up Ruy and Lucy´s little white compact and headed out of Montevideo. We were heading due north, straight through the heart of Uruguay.


We made a quick gas stop in a town named Pasos del Toro. This giant bull stands guard near the entrance to the town.


As for Central Uruguay, as you can see it contains lots and lots of fields. Green fields, brown fields, corn fields, cows, horses, ostriches, sheep, goats, watermelons, squash farms and more.




As you can see, the interior is filled with bright blue skies and fertile soils. It reminded me a lot of what the interior of the United States looks like as well. Except here, instead of farmers, they have Gauchos. Who keep the old school traditions alive in the Uruguayan heartlands.
