Chicos,

When my other half and I first arrived in Uruguay we lived in a rather spacious home on one of the most ‘busiest’ streets in Montevideo, Uruguay. Artigas. Now we live right off of the same street and a smaller place that is some what secluded from the noise level of cars and pedestrians.

Punta Caretas is a much more quite zone of Montevideo, Uruguay. Montevideo is divided by ‘zonas’, there is Pocitos, Centro, Tres Cruces, Punta Caretas, Carasco, Prado, and other zonas I forgot the names of.

Pocitos is a much more younger area and is jam packed with row after row of ‘high rise’ apartment buildings. Centro is the down town area and its a bit dangerous at night, Tres Cruces is a mixture of age groups and sizes of family members, Carasco is mainly ‘larger’ homes and very minimum apartment buildings, Prado has allot of the vintage homes that are very grand with several floors, and Punta Caretas is a mixture of apartment buildings and beautiful vintage homes.

The photos that are attached here are from Punta Carteas on a sunny fall day. I don’t have any pictures of the other ‘zonas’, but will take some shots as soon as I can.

Ciao,

Odeliza Jacoba
