I love this little town. It is four hours north of Montevideo and to the west- closer to Argentina. Monday we woke up and had a great breakfast with Nancy Curbelo. 
We left with Zulma and Raul in their car to visit some of Clarys friends, but no luck. No luck at the bank either. We went back to the Curbelos (where we were staying) and we had milenesa and mashed potatoes. There is always dessert in south america and I love that! We had home made cake! After lunch we walked around the city and visited all of Clarys friends. The town was really little feeling. We woke up that day to the roosters! It was nice to be out of the big city. At night we made "tortas fritas" in a big pan of boiling fat. It was so fun!! We had family home evening and Clary prepared the lesson. It was such a cool feeling being with this family that is so loving and giving to everyone. We ate the tortas fritas and drank malta (
cebada is what they call it in uruguay). The missionaries showed up and one is from Fair Oaks. We went to the leather mans house to look at the 
neat things he sells and while we were there the little 4 year old son peed on my leg while he was sitting on my lap. Poor kid cried of embarassment and I just chuckled and didn't worry to much about it. They say if a kids pees on you it is good luck..haha. That was the end of another great uruguayan day. The next day I went on Sister Curbelos motorcycle with her and we went to the bank real quick. Then we went to the bus stop super early and while we were saying good bye to our friends, the bus pulled out, so we had to wave it down AGAIN..
