Today I saw Forlan in Montevideo

Apart from being Forlanland, Uruguay is also cow heaven.

Someone told me that there are 4 cows for every person and looking at the amount of meat that they eat I have to say I believe it. I think I´m the first vegetarian that many of the people we´ve met have ever seen. At restaurants when I ask if they have anything at all that´s vegetarian they just look at me, and I know that they´re trying to understand my joke or why I would ask something so strange.

Why are there so many cows? I think it´s because of the land. It´s flat. When I told one of them about Guatemala´s volcanoes he said ¨volcaaaanooooeeessss wooooooowwwww.¨ Honestly, there aren´t even mountains, it´s sooo different for me since I have always been around mountains and volcanoes and lakes.

The people here are really nice and they´re all so excited about Uruguay in the World Cup that it´s been a party. In a few days I´ll leave the freezing beaches behind and start visiting the interior. We´ll see how it goes :)
