A Year in Uruguay

Many people in Montevideo work Monday to Friday plus a half-day on Saturday, so Sunday is the main day for relaxation. It's now warm enough for people to really enjoy the beach. Sitting on the low wall between the sidewalk and the beach is even more popular than sunbathing. People chat and share gourds of mate or big bottles of beer. In the afternoon, bags of bizcochos (pastries) are passed among friends. It's very socialable.
