Chapter 305 Brother, what have you seen?
The last stop in South America, Uruguay.
When you walk into Montevideo, Uruguay seems very low-key compared to Brazil and Argentina. Because there is no industrial activity, the country's scenery is beautiful, the tourism industry is very developed, and the air quality is excellent. It is called Switzerland in South America. Every summer, people from all over the world come here for vacation, and once became the back garden of Brazilian and Argentinians.
The climate is mild, with green trees and flowers blooming all year round, and it is famous for the City of Roses. Walking on July 18th Street, the most important street and the place with the most concentrated attractions. The 80 tourist attractions are all around it.
Montevia means that I saw the mountains. The yellow La Plata River next to it is the widest river in the world. The Argentine River from Montevideo to the other side is more than 100 kilometers wide, and the widest part of the estuary reaches 222 kilometers.
What is the concept? It’s like the distance between the Demon City and Zhenjiang, or the capital and Hengshui. The initial colonists thought it was the sea, but in fact it was the river, not the sea.
The old town has well-preserved Spanish colonial buildings, where you can see leisurely locals drinking matte while walking. Climb the Alpha Road lighthouse and take a panoramic view of the entire colonial town.
Not far away, there is a unique building called casapeblo, which is a hand-built building made by the artist Carlospevilar. It is built along the white mountains, as if it is in a small Mediterranean town.
Follow the small stone path, which is only five minutes away, you will walk to the city wall, but there is no city gate. There is a small gallery on the right side, covered with paintings on the wall.
After passing through the door, the ancient city gate jumps into your eyes like a painting in a gallery, but this one occupies all your sight, peaceful and magnificent.
The street under your feet is called Sigh Street. It retains the architectural style of the colonial era on both sides and is also famous for its mysterious stories. There are many versions of the legend, some say that prisoners sentenced to death will be tied up here until they are drowned by the high tide river.
Some say that there were many brothels on this street in the past, and local sailors would come to relieve their depression and sigh for their love. Another version says that a woman in love was stabbed to death while waiting for her lover. Every full moon night, she would come back here to wait for her to have a lover.
What’s strange is that all the door signs are made of Portuguese ceramics, and the color is similar to that of our Celestial Blue and White porcelain, so we were three hundred years earlier than them. There are replicas of large and small versions in the souvenir shop, so I couldn’t help but buy a refrigerator with the size of the size to keep for later memories.
Stroll to the center of the ancient city, behind it is the ruins of the sanfrancisco monastery. Spend 25 pesos to climb the top of the lighthouse and take a bird's eye view of the ancient city. The pointed Twin Towers are the Church of Our Lady, which is still considered the oldest church in Uruguay despite repeated reconstructions.
Take a deep breath, the weather is very good, the trees are covered with flowers, and the temperature is very suitable for walking and cycling. Locals will flock to the beach and relax on the beach.
When I came to South America, I found that everyone seemed obsessed with retro cars. I could see them quietly lined up at the entrance of the restaurant, taking a nap in the grass, looking at the island by the river, or willing to make a potted plant, and each car was enjoying its own life.
Walking all the way to the Port of Podovier, someone was selling gardenias in a basket by the market. The fragrance reminded people of Jiangnan in early summer. However, those selling flowers in Jiangnan were either old ladies wearing blue prints or little sisters with braids, while those selling flowers here were young men wearing jeans.
There is a green space next to the square where citizens are relaxing and entertaining. Many retired elderly people dance tango in the square, which reminds Johnson of the domestic square dance. Tango is the national treasure of Argentina, but because Mongolia and Bushi are close to each other, many cultural customs of the two countries are the same.
The most luxurious decoration on both sides is either a cafe or a bookstore. When I came all the way from Argentina, I saw many world-famous beautiful bookstores. Maybe Latin people really love reading?
In fact, when it comes to Uruguay, those who are familiar with football will think of world superstars, while those who are not familiar with football will be confused. But as early as 2016, this place was rated as one of the top ten most worth visiting places in 2016 by Lonely Planet.
It has the best beaches in South America, a summer resort for surfers around the world, and is also a city of unrestrained bare belly for European beauties. It is said that Bush Jr. also bought several villas here and came here for vacation every year.
In front of us is the Century Stadium, which has witnessed the glory of Uruguay's first World Cup in 1930. The vicissitudes and qualifications of a century make it still one of the busiest football stadiums in Uruguay today.
Looking at the various brilliant achievements in front of me, I realized that the long-term low period made Uruguay gradually forgotten by the football world, and even described it as a dark horse by some media after defeating Portugal?
But it has always been a strong player in South American football. It has won two World Cup championships and reached the semi-finals of the World Cup three times. Its strong strength can compete with Brazil and Argentina.
Take a bus all the way east, and the seaside resorts are continuous, with magnificent sea views and white beaches that are dazzling. At this time, many Brazilian hot girls come to escape the summer heat, seven days a week and 24 hours a day are carnival seasons.
The east and west sides extend with charming beach scenery, but it has different styles. The sea breeze on the west side is gentle, the sea surface is calm all year round, and it is gentle, and the east side is surging, with rough waves and extremely violent.
My eyes were filled with long legs, and the waves were surging with the waves...
I lament that the girls here are developing so well, and they have nothing to say about their figures. Unfortunately, their skin is too dark and their facial features are too rough, which is still an aesthetic issue.
I have traveled around most of the world and tasted all kinds of beauties. Finally, I found that the yellow color is better. White is also good. Forget other races, I can change my taste by chance, but it’s too tiring to ride for a long time!
When you come to the restaurant, you will find the essential beef for every meal. The matte tea that you never leave all day is the most distinctive sign of Uruguay. Order a good ryage and try the three-ripe texture with bright red cross-sections without juice, and the most refreshing taste.
The light beer here is called rbia, and the dark beer is called negrao. The local wine is also good, especially a beef sandwich called chivito. Although it looks like a burger, it tastes completely different. It is topped with eggs, cream, bacon, olives, lettuce, salad dressing, tomato sauce and beef…
A full!
Compared with Europe and South America, it is like ice and fire, two completely different feelings. Europe is exquisite and elegant, paying attention to the details and taste of life. It has a stern and restrained personality and is very cool.
South America is completely opposite, bold and hot. Whether it is delicious food or beautiful women, as long as you have confirmed that the person is right, you will just pick up your gun without saying a word.
This is the fun of traveling. During this period, Johnson Johnson opened his eyes and saw various strange folk customs. His three views were constantly refreshed, and he became more and more calm.
In short, one sentence:
If you see a lot, what else is there to be scary?
