Uruguay is Good!

Map image

There you go! I am in Uruguay, I went straight into an apartment arranged for me and my family.  The cab driver who came to pick us up at the airport spoke a little English and told that he and his family were devotees of Sai Baba in India!

I went to work and took the Visa department personnel to the Colombian consulate in Uruguay.

The place where I am in Uruguay is called Montevideo.  The country itself is very small and has a population of 3 million.  Montevideo being the capital city, it is considered densely populated (approx 1 million).
