We arrived in Montevideo this afternoon. it is the fall here and about 62 degree F and a bit overcast today. The flights were great. Our biggest question was at the aiport in Uruguay with the Food and Agriculture people who wanted to inspect my large bag full of dried cranberries, juices, etc....What are they??? All I could think was, I made my husband load this huge oversized bag around and they are going to make me leave it all. After a few moments of poor communication on my part (we really are disadvantaged in only knowing one language well), we all laughed and made it safely to our driver. Tonight Chuck and I will meet with our program coordinator. Tomorrow we will be meeting with UPEFRUY (Union of Producers and Exporters of Fruits of Uruguay) and the Rural Association of Uruguay.
