Montevideo

Capital of Uruguay. Another city with a European feel. First pic is the sign along the Rambla, the seaside walk and road that goes on for over 20 km. Next is the original city gate, all that remains from the old city walls. Behind the gate is Independence Square, the main square in the city. Next, in the center of that square is the statue of Artigas, the hero of independence, with both the old and new national government executive office buildings in the background. Then a city market, the famous bronze statue of the gaucho, oxen and wagon and a city street.Weiterlesen
