I drove for the first time in Uruguay this afternoon. This was my first time in 20 years to drive a stick shift! I was trying to go from our home to the local Almacen - a little store on the side of a man's house - just 3 kilometers away.
Twelve kilometers later I realized I had gone in the wrong direction. I certainly drove more of a maiden voyage than I intended. Once I did get to the store (which is attached to the owner's home), after dodging chickens and dogs, the owner and I both laughed at my driving adventure when I told him his store was the first place I had driven in Uruguay. He rewarded me with a bottle of wine and a good-natured teasing about getting lost. Gotta love this country.
