It was a nice, relaxing month of January. All of us Moishe House Montevideo residents were off work for vacations, and we all got a bit of traveling in.
My parents visited me! Which was awesome. We spent a few days in Montevideo so they got to know my new city, a couple days in Punta del Este (real nice beach town in Uruguay about two hours drive away), a day in Iguazu (one of the most amazing places I've been in my life--TONS of HUGE waterfalls!), and four days in Buenos Aires. We had tons of fun together, but now I miss them more again. Oh well, it was nice to see them, and things are still going well for me in Montevideo.
After getting out to a hot start as a Moishe House in December, things slowed down a bit in January. Not only were we getting our own traveling in, but it seemed like the entire city was out of town! Everytime we made calls for our events people told us they were in Punta, or Piriapolis, or Rocha, or somewhere on the beach, not in Montevideo. I've never experienced this type of vacation culture before. In the States we all take our allotted vacation at different times. Here pretty much everyone gets off the month of January, and some get February off too. Even some of the restaurants I go to are closed for vacations. So our turnouts were smaller, but in a way it was nice because things were more intimate that way. We're starting to find out who our regulars are too. Although it wasn't the busiest month, I feel we still made progress.
Hope everyone had fun at the Moishe retreat in the North! Looking forward to a great month of February,
