Finally Sun and pain

Tuesday we woke to a bight sunny day and were so excited to get out on the beach. After all, this was supposed to be our beach leg of the trip. We headed out around 11am and the temperature was perfect- about 75 degrees with a nice breeze. We noticed there we not many people on the beach with us. I mean if this were the Jersey shore packs of tweens would be on the prowl. Maybe they had summer school? Around 3pm I started to get hungry and wanted a bite to eat. There was a little spot one block from the beach- a pizza place of course. After sitting down, I am looking a little burned on my wrists but not too bad. After our lunch of pizza and pasta we head back down to the beach. More people have arrived, I figure it must be quitting time. We nap a bit and when I awake, my feet are on fire. I look down and my burn is a lot worse then In fact, I have perfect sandal lines. It was around 6pm and I was like Jason we should go. He was looking a little burned himself. I did not realize how bad it was until I got dressed for dinner. There were spots of red all over. I looked like the worst cheetah you have ever seen. It is so frustrating because I applied and reapplied sunscreen. And Jason, who did not even apply sunscreen until about 1pm was burned but not nearly has horrible as I. UGH!

After the beach, I showered in a very European shower facility, i.e. a room with a toilet and sink with a drain in the center. That was probably the thing I liked least about our hostel. I loved the location, how helpful the owner was, the other young travelers and of course the price but the shower/bathroom was just OK. We napped for a couple of hours and headed out to diner around 9pm. I was in a krappy mood so I ate pasta and J got the chicken kabobs. Both were wonderful. We were finishing up and this family of four came in for dinner at 10:30pm. What time do Uruguayans need to be at work in the morning? By 10:30 on a work night, I am usually in bed and by 11pm it is lights out. These people probably would not finish dinner until midnight. Blows my mind. Anyway, this is our last night in Montevideo and tomorrow we head to Buenos Aires.
