Hola. Bob Frederick, from Louisville, Kentucky, USA. I'll be arriving in Montevideo on 30 December, renting an apartment in the Ciudad Vieja. Not a full-timer (yet), but I'll be in-country for three months. I just finished three months in B.A.
I'm a retired pilot, 20 years in USAF, 22 years with UPS.
Separated for a year and a half....permanent, but due to finances, we don't want to divorce.
I try to run at least 5 days a week, looking forward to running the rambla. I'm also looking for a cheap basic bike, to get a little further away. I read constantly, love boats, many genres of music' good food, wine, and real beer (not Bud, Bud Light, etc).
I'm reasonably fluent in Castellano, but most of the Porteños speak faster than I can listen. Probably true in Uruguay also, but I'll survive.
I'd like to meet some people...both expats and locals. Who knows, perhaps I WILL be a full-timer.
