Danny - We made it to Chuy in the early afternoon (travelling from the farm in Punta Del Este). Chuy is the border-town between Uruguay in Brazil. There is one main avenue in the small city and the south side of the street is Uruguay and the north side is Brazil. On each side there are shops, on the Uruguayan side think the standard Duty Free Shop at the airport and on the Brazilian side think Canal St in Chinatown. On the way we heard USA was losing 2-0 to Slovenia, not good. We arrived to Chuy and the game was on a flat screen in a duty free shop. We saw the score was 2-1 and the replay of Landon's goal just played, with the US putting pressure we decided to stay and watch the rest of the game at the store...Bradley's goal aaaaahhhhhh I almost knocked over the perfume display celebrating. Kyle and I were going nuts...everyone around us is confused that 2 Americans are in Chuy watching this game. Then the "non-winning goal" (or the "non-perfect game" for those that understand baseball better, yes thats how big that was). That was a fair goal, and as I always say the USA gets robbed in the WC. At least France lost. Back to the trip, we ate in Chuy and left on the road to Porto Allegre in Brazil where we were spending the night before getting to Florianopolis for the Brazil game on Sunday. Crossing the border was relatively painless, we had the necessary paperwork and we were on our way, officially in Brazil...
