It's nicer every day, school is winding down, warm clothing packed away....ahhh, it's summer again.
This kiosko is in 'Ciudad Vieja' the most downtown you can get I suppose. There is 'El Centro' too, which is city center, but it's more for everyday shops and offices. The old city has the port, Teatro Solis and lots of high end and specialty stores. It's the most visited by tourists. The 'peatonal' is a small thoroughfare just for walking that winds it's way around all the shops, bars and points of interest.
I know a guy who sells jewlery and tokens from a small set up on the peatonal. I like to give him a visit every couple of weeks you know.
Not just rare, odd and beautiful, it's working! I saw this thing again the other day and with those wheels so 'tucked under' it looks like it's gliding around on a track or something. If it wasn't cute enough, how about the colors?
Friday, I was off to the graphic artist to work up the final details of our signs. Marcello hooked me up (see the results on
Coffee Shop) and it was an easy bus connection back.
Waiting, I happened to be just in front of another Montevideo beauty. These single family townhouses are getting harder to find each year. Restored, sure there are a few, but if you want to fix one up yourself, better get crackin'.
