When I first saw an aerial view of Montevideo through Google Maps it looked very modern, and the tourist pictures gave me really high expectations of a first world country in a third world region. Don't get me wrong, the place I am staying is really nice and the people are friendly (my mentor's wife came up to give me the standard kiss that I had known about, but was caught by surprise; she saw my reaction and apologized). But it is different that what I am used to back in Phoenix.
It is winter down here and it is very moist. My Spanish is holding up even though sometimes they give up and use English around me. But so far, everything is going well.
