Montevideo today looks very revolutionised, in the middle of political parties intern elections, a little on the american primary elections style: all the groups decide their candidates on the same day and any citizen can participate in a partiday election. While the city looks all covered with papers from the National, Colorado and Frente Amplio parties ballots, what grabbed my attention is how the power of convocatory grows as I got closer to the suburbs. In fact, this morning I was at the district El Cerro, where the fortress from where the whole city can be viewed. Over there, the presence of white, blue and red flags was overwhelming.

By the way, I took a few pictures today at El Cerro, although it was pretty cloudy and the pictures didn’t came out as I wanted to. As soon as I publish them I will let you know.

Now, sunday afternoon, the city looks totally desert and sunken in the mist, which gives it a gory aspect. Even the Fun Fun (a popular bar) is closed. Anyways, in a few hours I will be going back to Buenos Aires with a couple of Patricia beers and a bottle of Tannat wine. Even so, I still have time left to drink another Pilsen and take a stroll around the 18 de julio avenue before heading to Tres Cruces, the bus station of Montevideo.
