The second part of the tour was a visit to a large winery about 35 miles away from the city. The WC pax were there in their 4 big bus tour finishing up when we got there. I am sure they had fun, and had a great show going on, but made me very happy to have the little private wine tasting lunch and tour of the winery later with just the nine of us. 🙂 One crew member from the shops sat next to me. She was totally adorable and interesting to talk to. The lunch was a carnivore's dream come true with nice wines to pair with. 😄 And found a lively "bartender" in the cellar.

Great tour yesterday. A bit long in the seat of the little van, but interesting tour of the city of Montevideo. Very happy to see a healthy city here in Uruguay versus what we experienced in Brazil. We were lucky to have a tour that was a total of 9 pax (including us). Simple, clean and newer little 15 pax touring van. Really nice guide. Some beautiful parks and statues. The one building was built/designed by a man that used to live in Dubai. Ummm...yeah, I can see that. 😉 Found an interesting fellow photographer really into his work as well. 😄

Coming into Montevideo now...big seaside/port city. Two rivers dump into this large harbor, so the water has turned very brown. Geography: Montevideo on the mouth of the harbor, Buenos Aires much further up into the harbor, of which we will be doing an overnight tomorrow, and TAD for most. Was told about 300 pax will be leaving the cruise tomorrow, and 466 are coming on board...thus net gain of approx. 166 pax. We had around 60 children from Miami, will be 66 total after BA. Passed the MSC cruise ship going back out. Hmmm...wonder where the cocktail lounges are located on that ship? 😉 😁

Oh I wish, but will leave it go. She is not worth it. They say you can't fix stupid...and IMHO...you can't fix rude and inconsiderate either. 😠 The hearing in my right ear is a bit better now, still sore, but getting better. And I will have my ear plugs with me at the next concert we go to. 🙂 Thanks my friend!

Now that is nice of you for sure! 🥰 I did find my left over ear plugs (I usually wear on an overnight "red eye" flight) in the side pocket of my carry on bag. Will take them to a music show next time. The hearing in my right ear is coming back. Still a little muffled, and still a bit sore...but better. 🙂 Tonight is a comic. We always sit middle of the theater for that...harder to pick on us. 😄

Just walked out of the show tonight after two sets. Some rather obviously drunken woman was screaming and had a high pitch whistle behind us seated in the handicapped area (and no she was not handicapped). I turned around at end of the first song set and asked her politely not to do that "This is not a rock concert" I told her. She cursed at me. She did it more loudly at the end of the next set. I had to walk out. Unfortunately I have lost the hearing now in my right ear. Hopefully it will heal. Why do people do that?
