Our first few days in Uruguay consisted of many parties. You see,we spent Thursday night flying from one LA country to the next,we arrived Friday at noon, stopped in our apartment, drove the hour from Montevideo to San Jose, and arrived just in time for a Uruguayan holiday!
Saturday was Uruguayan Independence Day,but instead of celebrating that, they stay up all night Friday celebrating Noche de Nostalgia. Everyone dresses up in outfits of decades gone by, and we were invited to a party with the young people of the church in San Jose. The party was Super fun, with dancing, and a midnight barbecue.
On Saturday, we went to a children's group with Claren. We learned some of our favorite children's songs in Spanish, and played some soccer of course.
Sunday was another party! It was a lunch at the church in San Jose, complete with a band and lots of cake! There was a huge crowd and it was so fun to see everyone celebrating.
