Wake Me Up When We Leave Montevideo
Greetings from Montevideo. Where's that? East of Buenos Aires, it's the capital of Uruguay. Having married into a Uruguayan family, I have always heard about the wonders of Montevideo.
Well, there are wonders ... as in "I wonder what the fuss was about when my husband's family talked about this city." If you're looking for "Buenos Aires light," then it's just fine.
If you find yourself in Montevideo, be sure to check out the Arcadia Restaurant at the top of the Radisson Hotel. In the off-season, you will be the only people in the place, surrounded by exquisite service and expertly prepared meals. It is a far better way to spend one's time than following the guidebooks' directives to "check out the tallest building in Montevideo-- a full 26 stories!!"
To market this place, you'd need a good imagination or a propensity for exaggeration. Hmm, kind of sounds like my husband's side of the family...
