Last week we got
to experience several aspects of our Uruguayan culture – all in only
one full day!
We started with jineteadas
at Parque Roosevelt on the outskirts of Montevideo.
There were some
very young participants!
Does DJ go for the candied apples?!
We know that E goes for the horses...
Success: A family selfie with the Canon PowerShot!
And we got to try asado
con cuero (beef grilled with the hide still on!) at one of the outdoor restaurants
there!
We ended the
day with a late night soccer match – a classic! Uruguay tied 2 to 2 with Brazil
in Recife, Brazil. It was as good as a win for us, especially with Brazil scoring only 43 seconds into the game, giving us an uphill battle from the git-go – and in that tropical heat. Our goals came from
our top two favorites: Edi Cavani and Luis Suárez! It was a very satisfying
end to a culture-packed day!
On Tuesday, Uruguay hosted Peru in our own Estadio Centenario. We won 1
to 0 with another goal from Cavani!
¡Golazo!
Flags
are everywhere on game days!
