Synopsis
Montevideo is Uruguay's capital city, home of one of the oldest opera houses in Latin America, this city and its people proved to be a big surprise. The country has more than three million people and half live in Montevideo! A very literate population for one thing - almost 100% -- Montevideo is a colonial city that is making a concerted effort to restore and renovate thousands of structures that date back over 100 years and are succeeding! The Old Town is lively and the pulsating rhythms of drums and chatter can be heard during the evenings and well into the night. The grannies meet with the active Afro-Uruguayan community and learn how their art of drum making and culture has shaped the country's dedication to this art form and adopted it as its own. The Grannies visit the home of an influential Uruguayan art curator and writer who acts as their host while they are in the country and visit the Carnival Museum and a premier winery.
