Who could possibly eat breakfast after the very filling dinner we had?!! We could and did.
We were prepared for chilly weather and we were somewhat prepared for wet weather. We were not adequately prepared for chilly, wet weather. We ended up being soggy most of the day but were quite productive.
My little umbrella could not keep both of us dry and with the frequent gusts of wind, it spent a lot of time safely tucked away in my bag. My denim jeans and fleece jacket were an efficient wick soaking up all that the Uruguayan clouds threw at us. I was damp and chilled to the bone.
But, we made our way to the Mercado del Puerto with beautiful colors (purple artichokes) and took in the smells of the wood-burning grills of the food vendors. It was too early for lunch but we scouted it out.

After buying some souvenirs and drying out at the hostel, we returned to the most untouristy food stall hidden in the back behind the fancy restaurants. Muy deliciosas! The seafood selections were wonderful although I would (and did) eat anything smeared with their parsley and garlic garnish. Yummy!One of the owners poses with Alisa for a photo.
Drats! The rain returned so contented bellies had to fortify us against the inclement weather. Alisa did some more exploring town after improvising rain boots with some plastic bags. and we had a great time at the Artisans Marketplace. All in all, a successful day.
