Notes from South America: #1

As I write this, I am in Uruguay.  I live here from November to March. My parents bought this land 6 years ago. They were looking to buy a place for vacation in South America. Uruguay is a safe and beautiful country. We built our house and decided to build summer houses for guests. We wanted to add services for guests like horseback riding, breakfast and polo lessons.  

Also on our land is Cafe Feliz, a place where people with different abilities can work. It is located by the stables on our farm. It is a coffee shop where people can come and drink and eat what we bake. I work there four days a week, in the afternoons. The other days I work at the stables.  My Mom and my sisters created Color Esperanza which is a foundation to help families in need with kids with autism in Bolivia and Uruguay.  It helped to start and fund Cafe Feliz, and it also provides free equine therapy. 

I enjoy living in Uruguay. My Dad bought me a horse, which I ride almost every day. The weather here is warm and there is a nice breeze from the ocean. I will keep posting my adventures down here.
