I took a few photos during our arrival in this South
American city. My tour of the old city
is later this afternoon.

| With the docking, comes the buses (and taxis) for excursions. |
 |
| The captain (sunglasses, arms folded) on the wing bridge after a successful docking. |
 |
| Montevideo is the largest city in Uruguay. Uruguay is about the size of England and Wales and has less people than South Carolina (less than 3 million). It is on the Rio de la Plata and only a short distance to Buenos Aires, Argentina. |
 |
| I see one modern skyscraper-type building from the port. |
 |
| Right outside the harbor is a ship graveyard. |
 |
| These ships are deposited here, and an Indian company recycles the metal. |
 |
| I thought the ship graveyard an interesting sight as we docked. It's kind of sad to see the abandoned ships. |
 |
| We are docked next to several ships from the Uruguay Navy. |
 |
| Across the bay you can see a monument and a soccer stadium on this beautiful day. |
