From there we drove (yes my dad was willing and brave enough to drive here and we rented a car) the hour and a half to Monte Video. Absolutely beautiful city. I found myself actually wishing for the day that I had studied abroad there and not in BA.
Of course in reality I couldn't be happier with Buenos Aires and the experience has thus far been unforgettable. However the beach and the way Monte Video was built was very appealing and I was bummed we were only going to have 24 hours in the city.
Our first stop coincidentally happened to be at one of the most famous restaurants on the city. It is one of the only restaurants between the road and the ocean (had to have been grandfather in) and the seafood was incredible. A few hours later we emerged from our table and headed to the hotel and then to the beach to soak up the sun and go swim.
My dad surprised us all with a beautiful room in a very very nice hotel one block from the best beach in Monte Video. Here's the view:
Couldn't have been a better day. As you can see not a cloud in the sky but somehow it was still cool enough that between an occasional swim and the ocean breeze I never got hot.
For dinner we went to a small italian cafe hidden within a residential district of MV. I think we were one of the only tables there that wasn't comprised of local residents.
