Montevideo in photos, VII

2012.Jan.18 Wednesday

Continuing on to the final Montevideo post, basically, from the far right edge of the red circle I cut straight down to the shoreline and then just walked the rambla, or boardwalk, pretty much to the eastern edge of what’s shown on the map – though it does continue east from there. The rambla is [...]

2012.Jan.17 Tuesday

Winding down – my last full day in Montevideo. You remember that whole thing about not going to Asunción because of the heat and Montevideo having lower temps? Well, Tuesday wasn’t so cooperative, with temperatures spiking at 42°C (108°F). The morning didn’t start out that way as I headed south and east… …into the pink [...]

2012.Jan.16 Monday

After quite the heavy lunch it was back to the apartment to collapse for a while and then get some work done. Mid-afternoon, headed out to the pretty little Museo Gurvich on the neighboring Plaza Matriz, free to visit on Tuesdays, just for your planning. Interesting stuff (no photos allowed, not surprisingly), reminds me a [...]

Montevideo in photos, IV

2012.Jan.15 Sunday

On to the Mercado del Puerto. You know me, I could spend a whole day in a place like this, and were there really still a market rather than just restaurants, I likely would have…. If I were more of a carnivore, I’d have just gone from one spot to the next sampling things. The [...]

Montevideo in photos, III

2012.Jan.14 Saturday

A good night’s sleep, and back into the streets early… perhaps too early. I don’t really sleep that much – generally I go to bed at 2 in the morning and wake up between 7 and 8. Henry makes fun of me because what I call “sleeping in” is when I get up at 8:15 [...]

2012.Jan.13 Friday

After my little pizza and beer indulgence it was back into the streets… well, first a stop back at the apartment to “freshen up” and take a quick catnap – figuring I wasn’t coming back until after dinner. So, back into the streets and a walk through the areas of Barrio Sur and Palermo, circled [...]

Montevideo in photos, I

2012.Jan.12 Thursday

I needed a break. I realized I hadn’t had a real day off since my trip to New York and Louisville back in April. With a quartet of days looming free, the need to renew my visa anyway, it seemed a perfect time to get away for a short break. My first thought was to [...]

Tweaks and Something New

2012.Jan.11 Wednesday

 Continual improvement is an unending journey.” – Lloyd Dobyns, news correspondent Catching up on the last week’s worth of postings. Last weekend we continued into a two-day menu of tweaks to four dishes and one new one that I’ve been playing with. Brought the goat’s milk feta cheese back to the chilled avocado and roasted [...]

Hacked…

2012.Jan.11 Wednesday

I haven’t disappeared, but am on the road for a few days, new posts when I get back. Unfortunately, some time over the last couple of days someone apparently hacked into the blog and destroyed the Underground Dining Scene page, and who knows what else – could be older blog posts as well. I had [...]
