On this last Sunday we decided to head out to the Blanes Museum. The Blane's Museum is typical of most museums here in Uruguay in of that is does not charge an entrance fee of any sort. The full name is actually Museo Munincipal De Bellas Artes Juan Manuel Blanes.
You will have to go to there web sight to get an idea of the art work here as they do not allow pictures in side the museum so I was only able to take some out side.
In back of the museum is a wonderful little park.
I wanted to share some of the food that I have had while i have been here. This sandwich is what is called Chivitos and is a stake sandwich that is absolutely to die for.
Here you can see Pierre serving up tongue yep that is cows tong and it was actually really good. I didn't think that I was going to like it all that much but to my surprise i did.
Here are the mussels that Pierre made for us the other day. He cooks them up with parsley chopped garlic and white wine. They were wonderful.
The sun is out once again and I ventured back down to grab a few shots here and there. Here you are going to see some shots on the Rambula one of the local bars that seem to pop up on every other corner. shots of the kids tricker treating on Halloween one of the local parks and of course a couple of shots of the restaurants that I have had the chance to enjoy.

Oh and just for my brother Greg I had to get a shot of one of the local dog walkers. (grin) Notice the Golden... they are all over the place here.
You will also see one of the horse carts again and a picture of one of the locals that makes her living working on parked cars by giving car washes and watching over people's cars making sure that no one breaks into them... it is really quite common.
OK now a cab ride for you when JP and I head out to pick up some mussels for dinner tonight. JP does a great job with them. To bad you can not smell the onion parsley and garlic with a little white wine... Yummers.
