The bus tour around Uruguay was full of surprises. We visited the oldest church in Uruguay, saw some rad motorbikes and took in the endless ocean views.

Overall it was an amazing trip to experience different cultures and witness what happens on the other side of the world. As exciting as it is to soak in new food, people and history I’m happy it only took a 13 hour flight back to the States to get home!

For the weekend we talked about going to Antarctica, Brazil and Uruguay, we decided on Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay, a small Portuguese colonial town and fort from the 1600s.

We took a fairy across the Rio de la Plata, the widest river in the world, from Buenos Airs, Argentina to Uruguay.

From transportation to memorials the scene in Argentina is beyond diverse. It is no wonder why they call Buenos Aires the Paris of South America. The city has influences from all over the world.

Adios,

The people, food, and sounds of South America are something to be experienced. I have never ate this well in my life. They love red meat and everything is prepared from scratch and slow cooked on charcoal and wood grills. After a filling meal and great introduction I capped the night by going out into the street so I could document the busy city in its quiet state.

More photos to follow, Hasta Luego!

Due to the chaos, my car and home office we’re chuck full with orders. So many that I had to go to 2 local post offices to ensure that every order went out and arrived before St. Patrick’s Day.

Thanks to everyone that made the Clover Connect one of our most successful product launches to date. We sold out of most sizes in our Pre-Order sale and ended up shipping orders to over 10 states across the country. The Midwest took the lead and a few new comers included Texas, Tennessee, New Jersey, New York and North Carolina.

Speaking of green rivers, did anyone make it out the annual St. Patrick’s celebrations in Chicago over the weekend?
