Okay, okay... I know that six-months of married bliss does not necessarily call out for celebration, but hey, that's why we fell in love in the first place; we love happiness and celebrating all the little things in life.
And we are really loving Uruguay. The people are really friendly; the weather is great; the food is amazing... so we actually went looking at some properties. As many of you may know, I love summer so an ideal life would include a place in two hemispheres. One in the North, California of course, and one in the South, why not Uruguay?
Real estate in Uruguay is denominated in US dollars so there isn't a currency exchange benefit, but housing costs aren't as sky high as they are in Santa Barbara.
We went to an open house and fell in love with one. We're currently figuring our financial status to know how much we can bid as we are not the only ones interested.
Enjoy the pictures and tell us what you think!

Ilove your taste in housing. You did not mention how much that property was going for. We wish you luck in your house hunting. The houses are beautiful.

Look for a house for Christina and me while you are down there!
That house is huge! I hope it comes fully furnished. Also, I would bid half of what they are asking since you will only be there half of the time. =)
Hi, Michael of the Sheeyit Clan,
How does this house look to you two?

I don´t know that either of these are on sale, but I we like it anyways. Maybe we could have something similar built. If there are other people wanting in on life in Uruguay, and we choose a place a little farther east where there is more land closer to the beach, we could potentially hire an architect to build us adjoining houses.
They are really quite something to see from the inside. Many of the older houses (1900-30s) have what are called "claraboyas." These usually form the ceiling of an interior patio or living room. I´ll put up a post in the near future to give you all an idea.
The houses don´t have much of a front yard here, at least not in our neighborhood, but they have varying degrees of backyards. Some have lawns, others are patios, and others cultivate impressive gardens.
Don´t know how your parents will feel about it, but apparently my mom´s cool with it. =)
Holy Crap, that isn't a house. Seriously? Is that really a house? If it is and its affordable then you me and everyone else who was at your wedding can live there.
Hi, Francine and Hugo,
Like the house! I would have to think twice about your buying it. You could be tempted to stay there year round and we would not see you very often.
Enjoy your reports!
Love, Grandpa and Grandma
That house looks cool to me. Then you will no longer live two doors down, but 1!
That house looks amazing! If you buy I'll definitely be there to visit at some point I promise! I know I owe you guys an email, but these past few weeks have been insanely busy. I will try to get to it soon. Hope all is well. I miss you!!!
