July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |

News:Leandro Rodriguez's frustrating spell in England is over after he made a move back to his home country with Danubio FC.Reference:{http://toffeeweb.com/season/17-18/news/35312.html} This is a typical story that enhances the sport most valued in Uruguay. Uruguayans are drawn together socially by their love of the game of football (soccer). On our tours we saw many restored stately mansions that were turned into libraries, book stores, and historical markers intertwined with modern buildings rising high into the air. From the top of the lighthouse we could see Buenois Aires on a clear day. "The name Uruguay means "River of the colorful birds." It is a word in Guarani that was spoken by the natives of the area". Reference:http://wikitravel.org/en/Uruguay. Historically the country has been fought over by Brazil and Argentina. Maintaining their personal freedom they have become a democracy. One of the points of strength is the free education they offer to their citizens. Although, there is crime, it is the lowest in Uruguay as anywhere in South America. It was a very peaceful and informative day. Our guides were especially friendly and informative about the sites. ![Merit Badge in Blogging
