The National Dish of Uruguay and my pics

First of all, i finally made an album of my photos from Uruguay. View it on Kodakgallery.com.

This,

is a Chivito.

Definition of the Chivito, from Wikipedia: Chivito is the name of a sandwich-style national dish in Uruguay, and consists primarily of churrasco beef, bacon, mayonnaise, black or green olives, mozzarella and tomatoes, served in a bun with a side of french fries. Other ingredients might be added into the sandwich such as fried and/or hard eggs, red beets, grilled or pan fried red peppers, pickles and ham.

Definition of the Chivito, from me: Awesome!

This sandwich was a key ingredient in the Kelly Benefit Strategies team diet in Uruguay.

Time for lunch!

El Primero

As you see from emily’s last post, i won the yellow jersey during the Vuelta ciclista del Uruguay. And I was able to finish the race still wearing it, thanks to my strong teammates.

You can read all about it here.

Here are two pictures that i took, one from the start and one from the end.

We survived the Hotel California

Reid guarding some of the luggage at the end in LAX. My trophies survived the trip, you can see them wrapped up in blue.

he’s in yellow…

…one day left in the Tour of Uruguay.  i am beside myself with anxious energy.  does anybody want me to make them 4 dozen cookies?  or do your laundry?  anything to keep the hands busy and the mind preoccupied…

seriously, though – feeling very proud at the moment.
