Austin's mother Tara came to visit in April 2026. We enjoyed some familiar favorites and also tried a few new places together.




First glimpse of the water in Atlantida—our first stop directly from the airport




Lunch at Santoral


Dessert—looks much better than it tasted


Prime fall beach day


José Carbajal, "El Sabalero"


Sand textures










Uruguayan Sun


Uruguayan Son




Ship-shape...


Is it still called driftwood if it hasn't drifted yet?






Returning to Montevideo from Atlantida




A trip out to the lighthouse






Golden hour as we neared our apartment


Sunday street market


House tour at Palacio Acosta & Lara


Waiting for the tour




Walk this way...












The fireplace, imported from Spain, apparently cost as much as the house
















Does your home have it's own observatory?






Walking the Peatonal to Lunch




Classic show


Classic theater


Lunch with a view atop the Radisson






Nice neighbors




Wrecked








Samba party on the Rambla


Sunset on the rambla




Home is where the lap is


Still runs!


First (and last) bus ride


The recently refreshed Feltrinelli Book Store




Double rainbow!


And sky blue pink clouds


Teaching Conga, a Uruguayan card game


Hudson helped...


Friday street market




Anniversary dinner at the Bodega on our block


Including a 360 virtual show of their history


and good life advice


Tacos a Mercado Ferrando


Picking meat for dinner


Many choices... all happy cows...


Terrace by twilight


Terrace by day


Old trolly cable tightener (maybe)


Mariner's house?


Walking the streets








The elevator we didn't take




National Cemetery


We found a long lost cousin!










And the only Uruguayan on the Titanic


And his family








Airport viewing platform before departure


New lounge coming soon!


And she's off!
