Montevideo... best and worse, plain and simple:
Best: Cafe de la Pausa: funky bohemian cafe filled with art, photos and old literature. A man dressed in black with a beret and a cigarette sits in the window. The food is tiny but delicious.
Worst: Ciudad Vieja on the weekend: not just dead but abandoned. Does anyone live here anymore?
Best: Parradilla: BBQ everything! Beef, chicken, chorizo, red peppers...
Worst: Parradilla: BBQ everything... cow intestines and pig kidneys.
Best: A bike ride on La Rambla by the water, creamy beaches and colorful rocks
Worst: The waterfront: Tall apartment buildings line La Rambla
Best: Drum show: every Sunday through the streets, drummers line up and people surround them while dancing the samba
and Worst: the water: a saucy dark brown that I wouldn´t recommend dipping in
