Magical Montevideo

Some more photos. We'll see where from.

Less talking more pictures :)

The mural in the main room. Done by ALFALFA, a street artist here in Montevideo. His real name's Nico and he's a very rad dood. I think he's going to paint the middle of the beast you see. It needs some more spots or lines or polka dots.

Sebastian by a vendor of used junk at Mercado Tristan Narvaja. The market takes place on Sundays when the streets are closed to traffic and pedestrians take over. A solid five square blocks make up the market where you can find literally anything. Broken windows, projectors, bicycles, books, shoelaces, tarantulas, turles, motorcycles, fruit and veg, empanadas, doorknobs, compact discs, underwear, babies (okay maybe no babies). But seriously. Literally anything. Here Sebastian debates the price of a box of old slides.

One of the four consecutive streets full of books at Tristan Narvaja.

A neon shoelace vendor at Tristan Narvaja. Pretty bright.

A view of just a slice of Pocitios. Its one of the nicer neighborhoods in Montevideo. The rambla continues all around the city and the other day I rode nearly the entire thing. Beautiful, right along the river, and super sunny.

This is a really beautiful color. I really like it. The car is pretty sweet too. It's got a little bit of woody action on the sides and the back. People come to the rambla to show off their cars and bump their sound systems. I wish I had my Benz to show off too :P

Sunset at the Pocitos skate park. Wicked competition and sunset to boot! :)

All of these were from Montevideo. I'll post some older ones tomorrow :)))

Peas and luv,

Sean
