| Countryside Activities As if the picture of you on waterskis didn't have me cracking up with laughter...the crazy scientist experimenting with makeshift bio-fuels really takes the cake! Can't wait for my visit now :)As for claims of nothing to do in the campo...the more countries I visit the more I marvel about how SIMILAR the countryside is in so many very different places - Ireland, Hungary, Italy, the US, Uruguay...fields start to look surprisingly similar when you see enough of them. I am, as Patrick would say, "died-in-the-wool city folk", but I know that and therefore choose a city life to fulfill my needs. I don't go to smaller countryside towns expecting big city entertainment, I also don't go to a small developing country with only 4 and half million people and expect to find bustling 1st world metropolis. If anything Robert's message will help to serve as a healthy reminder for those who come here with deluded expectations, and hopefully prevent others from being as disappointed. For that I wil say thank you for sharing your opinions, and I'm really sorry to hear you didn't stumble upon the things that have made me and so many others fall in love with this place. |
