Odeliza Life of a US Expat in South America

Oi!

It was a nice change to see a real koi pond in Uruguay. The fish were beautiful and well taken care of.

The pond’s located at the front entrance.

My favorite fish was the white one.

Oi!

Our stay at  Las Cumbres resort was relaxing and very much needed TLC. Per night cost about 300 USD not including meals. Its an exclusive hotel that caters to a specific clientele. The owners are from Serbia and are really accommodating. The hotel staff are Uruguayans and speak English very well.

This is the front entrance of Las Cumbres Resort. The sun was shinning that day which was awesome, but hard to take this picture.

Here is the front entrance area. I thought that this door was really cool. It was used more for decoration purposes. Which was a great idea.

A small pond at the front entrance.

Ola!

Tudo Bem? Midori our golden labrador gets a complete grooming at least once every other month. It’s not good to wash a labrador. One removes its natural oils that protect the dog from water activities. So the vet tells me…

Here is picture of Midori’s dog groomer. Fortunately, I don’t have to go to the vet’s I could just make a phone call and they’d come over to where ever I am.

Midori was not so happy about it. But she behaved well. Afterwards she smelled like roses and gummy bears. Then she romped around with a stray dog and got dirty. Oh well! At least she was shiny and clean for about 10 minutes.

Oi!

Tudo Bem? Our first home was located at Artigas, which is a main street in Montevideo, Uruguay. Often times we’d take walks to the rambla -board walk- and parque Rodo. Ever since we adopted Midori -our golden labrador- we’ve troted more often. Now, we live by the beach.

But I still like to reminisce about our earlier days at Artigas. Here are some snap shots of the main street that is closer to the Punta Carretas side.

Oi!

Tudo Bem? Down town Colonia del Sacramento located in Uruguay is often referred to as ‘Old Town’ ‘Old City’ or ‘Colonia by locals and expats. Its actually the first city in Uruguay and most of the architecture,cobble stone streets, towers, and walls are still maintained by the government. Its a very well know tourist must see in Uruguay.

Myself along with my other half, and our New York friends took a short drive to Old Town for dinner and to appreciate the sights. Its was pleasant. There were’nt as many tourist at the time. So If you’d like to visit Old Town, my suggestion would be from October-March. December and January having the heaviest in tourist traffic.

Here are a few snap shots of Old Town to give you a feel for what I saw. Enjoy!

Oi!

Our friends from New York bought two properties in Uruguay, one ranch or campo, the other a city home located at the old town Colonia. Here are some snap shots of their back yard.

I can’t wait until everything is renovated and complete! They want to make a retreat slash bed and breakfast. Maybe they’ll let me be a guest chef there, I’d love to try out some of my clean eat recipes with their clients. So exciting!

Ola,

Here are some more snap shots of our friends’ campo located at Colonia in Uruguay. Their campo is very secluded and takes a trip to get to, but the peace and quiet was worth it. Even though we live in Montevideo, which is the capital of Uruguay and the main dwelling of most people, with the exception of construction noise its not that busy. But having stayed a weekend at their place, well now I know what quiet really is.

Oi!

There is a decent amount of Expats from around the globe that station their selves in Colonia del Sacramento in Uruguay. I suppose it is because of the quiet, near the boats to travel to Argentina, and rather secluded from everyone else. 

My fiancee along with Midori, our Labrador, took a trip to a friend’s campo or ranch in Colonia. It was pleasant, very still, and really really quiet.

Oi!

Its inverno en Uruguay and I must admit the climate is not so bad, a bit tough on my asthma, but other than that, its okay.

 Of course I am comparing this to the past two winters in Uruguay. A lot of locals are agreeing with me.

Here are some snap shots of Montevideo Uruguay.
