billymg: hopefully i can check it out myself soon
BingoBoingo: billymg: brain is still kinda stuck in vacation mode. Had strictly excellent company.
BingoBoingo: But Punta del Este was rather dead. The entire stretch Punta del Este to Jose Ignacio including "La Barra" seems a dumb money trap.
billymg: BingoBoingo: ha, my brain is still stuck in vacation mode almost a year later after leaving the US lol
BingoBoingo: It was just really good to get out of the city after 3 years
billymg: BingoBoingo: makes sense, i'm in a rural part now myself and love it
billymg: BingoBoingo: was your trip strictly vacation or maybe thinking of relocating?
BingoBoingo: Stayed at a literal house at the end of the road in La Pedrera where a couple hundred yard footpath to unoccupied part of the beach started
BingoBoingo: billymg: Started as strictly vacation with new girl whose friends were too afraid to vacation with her. Turned into spiritual experience that has me considering relocating or splitting my time between two locations.
BingoBoingo: Will definitely be returning to Rocha during the winter to see get a good view of the off season
billymg: i can't say i miss city life much, especially with all that entails post corona
BingoBoingo: Montevideo still has its charm, but... the rural Missouri vibe out east of Laguna Garzon... that's my vibe
billymg: BingoBoingo: ah, so uruguay is like CR in that sense, high season during dec - feb roughly?
BingoBoingo: High season is new year through Carnaval with the Peak at new year
billymg: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/agriculturalsupremacy/2021-01-25#1003261 << sounds ideal really

BingoBoingo: I do however want to know what winter is like out there. If I have to make weekly pilgrimages out to La Barra for supplies during the off season that could change shit
BingoBoingo: Eating seafood in Rocha however ruined the same in the city or old country (should I ever return there) for me
billymg bbl call
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: consider to post photos of 'out of city' expedition.
billymg: i would also enjoy seeing the area from first-person view
BingoBoingo: There's a pile of them
