Montezuma is not the only one who wrecks revenge on the intestines of visitors. Our ship has an outbreak of the norvovirus and yours truly has fallen prey to some invisible bug that has laid me low for a few days. Surprisingly and fortunately, Mike has escaped the bug. The buffet lines have been modified on the sip to disallow self service, so we have longer lines as we eat one of our hundred meals a day. We were committed to eating healthy foods this cruise, and for the most part we have stayed true to our commitment. A few desserts here and there, but mostly three healthy squares a day. Even if they don´t stay in the tummy long enough to be digested.
We are at the internet cafe in Montevideo, Uruguay today. We took a bus tour of the city with lots of photos to share whenever we get a chance to download. Yesterday we had a long stay in Buenos Aires, and we took lots of photos as we roamed around on the bus tour there. One day is hardly enough time to see either of these cities, but after these short visits we aren´t sure we need to see much more of Montevideo. After all, on a highlights tour they are probably showing us the best they have, and well frankly, there wasn´t that much to see. Buenos Aires on the other hand looks like a grand city...Paris of South America, with lots of charm worth a second visit.
Our cruise ends on Sunday morning when we arrive in Rio. Hopefully, if all goes according to plan our Carnival tickets will be waiting for us when we arrive and the cheap hotel we found will be both passable and within a reasonably priced taxi ride from the ship´s dock. We hope to get better access to the internet so that we can keep in touch more regularly.
Til then,
Deanne

Hey you 2,
As usual, your descriptions of everything are so entertaining and informative. I'm so sorry Montezuema has visited you, but glad he spared Mike. One question, you were so thourough in your description of prices of food and lodging, I was wondering about the gas prices. Just curious. I remember many, MANY years ago in Europe, while we were paying next to nothing for gas, the "natives" were paying a kings ransom.
Enjoy the rest of your cruise and stay well...........or get better!!!
Love you

Hola! Too bad about that Norwalk virus...I do hope, Dee, that you are feeling a lot better.
Can't wait to see pics of Argentina.
It's been a combination of rain and snow here is good ole B-ham. Mike and I can't wait to catch some sunny days down in Cali. Let's cross our fingers and hope for fab weather during our visit and your lengthy stay.
We'll talk to you soon. Que disfruten Carnaval en Rio!
Dear Deanne and Mike -
I am so enjoying being able to read about and view beautiful photos of your fabulous adventure. I must admit though that with each new story I read, my envy turns me just a bit greener. Thank you for sharing.
Be well and remember to floss!!!
