We ran into Marcelio, a friend of Michel Croz (one of our workshop leaders) in the park, and identified him as someone who'd be interested in our project since he was wearing a "Riveramento" shirt, a name that combines the cities on either side of the border.

Random building on the Uruguayan side of the park. This is the only park in the world that is run jointly by two countries. Both Brazil and Uruguay are responsible for maintaining their own half of the park, including stone tiled paths that mark the border.

Virgin Mary statue by Jose' Belloni (famous Uruguayan sculptor) that straddles the border, with Brazilian and Spanish inscriptions.

The "X" marks the you-are-here spot, with a dotted red line marking the border.

Socializing after dinner, with wine, wafers, computers, phones and cards.

Our food comes from the hospital down the street, which is a bit bland, but not bad. It was served in these huge circular containers (which are heavy to carry and a pain to wash) until we bought some large tupperwares. Now we get our rice and beans and veg and meat and soup for 10 in those.
