I hope no one got too worried about me since I haven't posted in about a week. It has been an amazing last week that has culminated in the resurrection of my computer from what appeared to be near disaster. And it is just in time because this weekend we are going to Buenos Aires. I will be able to post all the pictures as soon as we get back on Tuesday, but don't expect too many updates and definitely no pictures until then. The next weekend I am running the Montevideo Reebok 10K it should be a blast, but right now training is not.
These are some pictures from the Prada Expo. Martín took us to check out what I can best describe as a state fair for the entire country of Uruguay. Cowboys, Cows, Chickens, Sheep, Tractors, and Special exhibits from the Agricultural Departments of Brazil, Argentina, and tons of other countries. It kinda made me feel like I was back home again at the Lincoln County Fair. I had to include a picture of some of the HUMONGOUS Angus Bulls that farmers brought down for the livestock show. It was a really great experience to be there, but everyone's favorite part had to be getting our picture taken by La Copa America. Uruguay won La Copa America for a record 15th time. Which means that they have won the Championship one more time than their rival Argentina. You should have seen the look on our friends' faces when they saw the trophy there. It was awesome!!!
But I guess I better keep the Anti-Argentine chatter to a minimum I will be on my way there in just a few hours.
