Redefinition of Quiet and Still in Uruguay.

On a ripio road, out in the campo, on a route that redefines the definition of the term ’quiet’, one that might  require the addition of either a superlative or an expletive.  Little by way of traffic has troubled us, so it should be no surprise that, when we stop to fill our water bottles at an estancia’s water bore, a couple on a moto will pull over and present us with an ice cold bottle of water. ¿De donde son?, ’ally manny’… it must still be Uruguay.
