A Year in Uruguay

School in Montevideo starts next week, so I guess the southern summer is coming to a close. We went shopping for school supplies this afternoon. My daughter's school gave us a list of 53 things she needs for the beginning of classes. (Not counting books, which we'll shop for later this week.)

We didn't even know what some of the items were. Glue, for instance, was listed as cascola-- which is the local brand name for Elmer's glue. Most of the other confusing things were particular types of paper or binders. The geoplano is still something of a mystery to me.
