blog: Living in Montevideo

Living in Montevideo Blog is like our lives here in Uruguay, so it's another work-in-progress. Hopefully it will coalesce into something meaningful on "The Uruguay Experience" for ME at least! As such comments and suggestions are welcome.

home page: Living in Montevideo

Self-explanatory. I guess this is the space for trying to promote oneself with some minimum of grace and decorum. IF you or someone you know needs an apartment here in Montevideo, or help with residency or relocation, we may be able to help you.

Bio:

At 17 I first discovered the ex-pat life. I spent 5 months in Spain learning Spanish with ragged, dog-earred copies of Hemingway's Stories and Death in the Afternoon stashed under my pillow. 30 yrs later here I am in Uruguay, having made extended stops in Barcelona, Mexico and Argentina bracketed around a brief 20 yrs spent in Maine, accumulating all the stuff I then gave up (almost giddily) to return to the Spanish-speaking world 5+ yrs ago. I like living in Montevideo. For some reason it feels like Nice in the 1950s, (a black-and-white version where Cary Grant and Grace Kelly share martinis in a private cove on the Riviera.) When I Walk the Rambla here, it kind of feels like that, if I squint real hard. This is a capital city on a human scale, more a collection of small towns snapped together like multi-colored Leggo blocks. I like walking here, getting into conversations whether purposeful or not. My wife Myrna (who is Argentine) and I have an apartment-rental website and we help people re-locate and navigate the residency process. Myrna is a great cook, she even makes Bagels!

Great time on Sunday. Thanks, Glen!

Great time on Sunday. Thanks, Glen!~~The Sunday Lunches sponsored by totaluruguay are really worthwhile. They're a... way and meet new friends here in Uruguay. It was great to see so many attend on the 5th anniversary. Way to go, Glen!...

Learning Spanish

Learning Spanish~~I recommend you come to the Montevideo Language Exchange gathering on Friday Feb 5th at the Bar... Come make some new friends...both expats and Uruguayans.

The best way to learn is to get out and just "do it!"

For the nonspellers: Urugauy and Monte Video is Montevideo (monte-vid-day-o), real estate agents are "Inmobiliaria", and of course Uruguay is not spelled Uraguay. 3697846275
