Day 201
My main mission for today was to get to Uruguay. I started out the day by looking around for cheaper tickets than the one I found yesterday. I found a company that would sell me a return ticket to Montevideo for one third of the other company's going price, but there was a problem: The ferry leaving today was sold out. I guess that means I'm stuck in Buenos Aires for another day. I was beginning to wonder whether it was even worthwhile going to such a small place as Uruguay. After all, everyone I've talked to who's been there has said that there's not much to see. However, I enjoyed the eight hours I spent in Montevideo during my cruise, so I felt that I needed to get back. I hope my instincts are correct because I've already had to waste two days just to get there.
