Montevideo Part Dos

So after we wrote our blog we went to go get some food on the main drag downtown and then to our surprise we saw all these people setting something up. We asked and discovered it was the begining of Carnaval for Montevideo. So we decided to grab some food at this pizza place and had a few beers and watched the parade start. Which reminds us, when you order a beer it only comes in 40oz size; there is no small beer. It's awesome! Then we went out and joined the people for about two hours. They had some nice floats, costumes, there were singers, dancers, a latin rapper that all the teenyboppers seemes to know. The kids were running wild, the parents literally had their newborns and mate in hand. It was cool to see Carnaval get started out here but after a while it all bled together. This was just a precurser to what we will see in Rio!!! At least we got some good pictures because in Rio we won´t be bringing the digital camera just some disposable cameras, so who knows how they will turn out and hopefully someone wont steal them like they did in Amsterdamn for new years a few years back!
