Got up early and checked out the mainland part of the city - blah - then I did a drive around the island: nice.
The cold front was settled in with rain so I headed back south through the front and made good weather about 4PM. Still had hours more of constant construction and detours accompanied by several thousand mega trucks - pleasure touring at its finest. Made Port Happy about 8 PM and didn't feel like hotel shopping so I checked into a dive - and what a dive.
Tomorrow looks bleak. I don't really want to push it to make Montevideo (725 km plus an international border and two aduanas) and none of the places in between are up for any awards. Whoa is me.
