OH, please tell me about Uruguay. I was interested because my father had gone to Montevideo when he was in the Navy. I saw pictures of the beaches, but they looked cloudy and cold. I was also worried about it being vulnerable to Argentina (I imagined a financial collapse and people swarming in), but I like beef and my husband tried to lure me with owning bug-out ranch land.
Thank-you for the good luck.
This group has a lot of very good and relevant information on many countries.
