We arrived in Montevideo and coming into port there were lots of ships rusted and falling apart.We later learned that they were confiscated because they had no licenses and refused to pay.
We hopped a taxi to downtown and did a free walking tour.We stared at Independence Plaza.Independence plaza divides the old city from the new.There is a statue of General Artigas known as the father of Uruquay.
Palacio Salvo with statue of Col. Artigas
Palace Salvo was built between 1925 and 1928 and at the time was the highest in S. America,at 26 stories.
Close by was the Artigas Mauseloum. It is guarded 24 hours a day.
