We arrived at Punta del Este yesterday evening. The hotel feels like home and, as JP puts is, I am happily back in "gringoland". The building is obscenely ugly from the outside but inside it's got that familiar Hilton/Sheraton/Hyatt feel to it. Not necessarily pretty, but comforting in a familiar way.
For dinner we went to a restaurant called SoHo with Miguel Angel, JP's cousin and doctor, his wife and one of his daughters. As it usually happens here we new half the restaurant's customers. On the right there was a huge table with a guy who: 1) was in the foreign service with my father, 2) was our neighbour in our first apartment in Montevideo and 3) used to be after JP's mother. Other tables were occupied by several doctors, all of whom Miguel Angel knew. Then there was this college friend of mine, which I had not seen in like 15 years. Now I have her phone number and I will call her next week to catch up. On our right there was this Pappo guy, a famous Argentinian rocker, or so I hear. And, to top it off, Susana Gimenez made her appearance with her very own Corchito.
There is something very claustrophobic about being in a small town.
