We also have a Sugar Loaf

Pan de Azúcar = Sugar Loaf

As a child, I spent many of my summers in Pan de Azúcar, a small little town in Maldonado where I had and uncle, his wife and two cousins. It is a very small town, where everybody knows everybody, where you don’t need to lock the doors, where you can relax and be at peace. It’s also 30 minutes from Piriapolis, a beach resort town.

Every day we used to get in the bus and go to the beach, the bus was always full with the town people, and we all used to talk with one another. It was so much fun, so delightful memories, even that now a day, I don’t think I would enjoy being in a bus crammed with people. Nevertheless, those were good times.

It was nice going back and visiting my family and the town.

A group of people were going to clean Sugar Loaf, a hill between Pan de Azúcar and Piriapolis, and it got posted on couchsurfing, so of course, as soon as I founded out I volunteered for the cleaning. Well, just because I could climb that hill as a child, doesn’t mean it was easy now. There is not a real path, you need to climb the rocks and small dirt paths, but the rocks are very slippery, especially if they are wet. Anyway, I made it up, and we cleaned the area and then we had to descend, that was fun too. Never again.
