A Year in Uruguay

While the date seems wrong, the weather feels right for graduation. My daughter's school had a graduation ceremony for the sixth graders at the Teatro Metro, downtown. The kids sang songs in Spanish and English (including "It's Fun to Stay at the YMCA".) They also performed scenes from several plays, both in Spanish and English. The graduation itself was very familiar, complete with caps and gowns.

It took a few hours to get from the honor guard to the throwing of the mortarboards and I was worried I'd be late for lunch at the Club de Pesca, but I arrived just as Tito was ready to serve oven-roasted lamb. I'm glad I made it.
