Mi Casa

Here are the pictures of my house in Tacuarembo. And I was right, the area where I am living is a common vacation destination. I fact it is called Balneario Ipora or Ipora Resort. I am living in a resort! The resorts here are public so maybe it is more like a park? This explains the very nice and very large homes and the general upkeep of the area. I am thankful for the views, the peace and quiet, and the well-mannered and well-groomed dogs that are generally friendly and greet me on my walks.

This place is the land of bikes, scooters, and motorcycles. Everywhere you drive you are dodging them on the left and right. In many places people use bikes and scooters because they can’t afford anything else but here near the resort and in Tacuarembo, I think riding them is fashionable. It is a resort town after all and people are here to enjoy themselves on Holiday. The scooters and bikes are fairly dangerous however. The past two days in a row, we saw the aftermath of accidents involving a car and a scooter, can you guess who must have won? The driving here is not stellar to begin with. Most people don’t stop until they are nearly in the middle of the intersection and I’m not suite sure how people tell who is going to continue and who is going to stop but somehow traffic keeps moving along and accidents seem to be rarer than they are common.
