A Year in Uruguay

Pedidos are the things we ask visitors from the U.S. to bring us. Some people request lotions, socks, underwear, sneakers, or zip-lock bags. My daughter and I usually ask for books and she also requests Reece's Peanut Butter Cups.

My in-laws just arrived in Uruguay and they brought replacement battery chargers for my cameras. The originals were "lost" from my checked baggage on an Aerolineas Argentinas flight between Ushuaia and El Calafate. After reading this post, I was happy I'd asked my relatives to carry them and I understood much better the tradition of pedidos.
