    Public Holiday in Uruguay today. July 18th, 1830 is the date when the first Constitution of Uruguay was written.

    Although it's nice to have a day off (specially because of the cold weather), it's weird that nothing related to the actual date is going on. I mean NOTHING!

    it's like if everyone agreed on saying "Great! a holiday weekend, let's celebrate nothing by doing nothing"... Pretty sad.

    • are you near the coast? do you guys often hop over to Buenos Aires or no?HijoDMaite
    • Yes, I'm 5 blocks from the South Coast of Montevideo. Buenos Aires is an hour ferry away from here, I go every now and then. $100 ferry + $250 hotel + $250 foodmaquito
    • Not something "easy" to do every weekend...maquito
