Your mission is to write up to 150 words inspired by this week’s location. Feel free to use the photo provided with the prompt. or roam Montevideo for your own inspiration. Once your piece is published, share it with others using the linkup below.
Thanks to Karen and Josh for hosting this here weekly shindig!
La Rambla
“Do you want to try to walk the whole Rambla Sur, Felipe? We’ll start at the top —”
“Rambla Baltasar Brum…”
“Right…and make our way all the way down the entire coast to the end —”
“Rambla Tomás Berreta…”
“— on Carrasco Beach. The Rambla’s a must-see part of Montevideo, they say”
“You do know it is 22.2 kilometres long, Maria?”
“Yeah, so? Half a marathon. Big whup!”
“WE don’t do half-marathons. YOU are loca!”
“Don’t be a cobarde! We can do it. We can take our time, break as often as you need. We’ll pack a nice lunch, so we can refuel for the rest of the way…
“Not a sissy, a realist. I don’t want to walk. How about we bike? That way we make it to the end!”
“OK. Deal. Then you can tell me all about the history of its creation, the World Heritage Proposal…”
Dear Dale,
A snipped in the day of the life as only you can tell it. Happy to be along for the ride…or half marathon as it were. 😉 Well done.
Shalom,
Rochelle

Dear Rochelle,
I was hesitant to even post this one…wanted to give a little info about the place without being too dry…
Glad it seemed to work!
Lotsa love,
Dale

Q,
Is it not enough that they’re in a culturally significant place? LOL. They made the right choice in biking rather than hiking. Because I’m thinking the latter may have ended with an Uber. If there even IS Uber in that neck of the woods, that is . . .
Well played, cheeky monkey . . 🙂

I agree wholeheartedly… she would have bitten off more than she could chew…
Hmmm Uber… I dunno…
Cheeky is my middle name…😉

It IS kinda refreshing to think that Uber and Starbucks don’t rule the WHOLE world. There are still vast wildernesses . . .
Yeah, cheeky is you middle name and your calling card . . . 😉

Hm. Maria is the one with cojones then. I wouldn’t fancy telling a Latin male that he was a cobarde! Nice story, Dale.

Liked the dialogue as a way of telling the story, and get a feel for La Rambla. Nice one Dale.
