I got my bags packed on a roll heading out there and I'm ready to go looking real good

in my passport photo

Oh no!

Amateur Traveler episode 708. Today the Amateur Traveler talks about beef and beaches, soccer and survivors, wineries, and Wi-Fi as we go to the country of Uruguay in South America.

Welcome to the amateur traveler. I'm your host Chris Christensen. Let's talk about

Uruguay. I'd like to welcome the show Karen Higgs from Guruguay.com who has come to talk to us about

Yuragway. Karen, welcome to the show. Thank you so much, Chris. And I have to spell that website because I want to make sure that people understand the joke and the idea of what it is, but it's Guru, Gue, as in Uruguay.

And you are somebody who has written guidebooks about it,

write a website about it, and you've lived in Uruguay

for 20 years.

So I feel that guru Gueguey for 20 years, so I feel that Guru Guey seems like a appropriate definition of what

you do.

And it also means that people stop confusing Uruguay and Paraguay.

Ah, okay.

Excellent.

Which is the bane of Uruguayan's lives.

Sure. No, we actually do not have a show on Paraguay

and it's not for lack of trying and I'm trying to line one up for next week.

So hopefully we may have one back to back and then

talk about the difference, but we're not talking about Paraguay.

Today we're talking about Uruguay which is not how the Uruguay and say it but we'll get into that.

Karen why should someone go to Uruguay?
