Uruguay - Punta Del Este

Punta Del Este is where the young, hip and wealthy South Americans go in the summer for the beaches and partying. But right now, it being the winter, it attracted more old people and families taking advantage of the off season rates - which is more our style anyway.
We rented a scooter and drove around the peninsula. It was fun, but very windy and cold.

Bill on the scooter - his helmet didn't fit:

Typical items on the menu in restaurants in Uruguay are steak, burger, pizza, pasta and hot dog. We have been starting every meal with a 70 cent hot dog as an appetizer. I tried to eat healthy once and ordered ensalada russo (Russian salad) and got potato salad with mayo. I think we have scurvy.

Attempt at healthy eating - seafood soup:
