If you are new, or not so new to Montevideo, and have a young family or are expecting a new arrival soon, we are organising a gathering aimed at you!
The first one is planned for next weekend (31st January) at Don Pepperoni Pizzeria in front of the Montevideo Shopping Centre (which is on Avenida Dr. Luis Alberto de Herrera, esquina Monte Caseros). Don Peperoni facing on to Avenida Luis Alberto de Herrera, beside the Fredo ice cream place and just a few doors down from McDonalds.
My husband Brent and I have been to the branch of Don Pepperoni at Carrasco and found that the place was quiet at 12.30, but packed out by 1.30, so I am saying we will meet there from 12.00pm for lunch. They do have highchairs, for those that need them and its a very family friendly casual place.
So the details again:
Date: Sunday 31 January
Time: From 12.00pm, if you want to get a seat
Place: Don Pepperoni in Montevideo Shopping Centre, (next to McDonalds on Ave Dr. Luis Alberto de Herrera, esq Monte Caseros)
Any recommendations for future venues would be appreciated, I think a mixture of outdoor and indoor (on different days!) will work well. Not intending on having it clash with the expat lunch at Fellinis every week, but it works for us this weekend. I will aim to organise something every 3 weeks or so.
RSVP would be great. Brent and I will be there first (hopefully) so just nice to have some indication whether to get a table for 4 or 14! No stress if you just come along though, as we all know, kids aren't always reliable!
Hoping some of you can make it, so will look forward to catching up then.
I'm new to the forum and moved to Uruguay with my husband and two children at the end of October. I hope to be able to make it to the get-together on Sunday. If all goes well it will be me, my father-in-law and two children. I look forward to meeting you.
Sounds great Inga - hope to see you then! If you need any more info, or otherwise don't manage to get along on Sunday, send me a private message and I'll be sure to let you know when the next get-together is.
