Punta Classic.
With this information I like to inform you about a „Christmas singing“ celebrated in the cathedral of Maldonado.
Our good friend and host of the „Punta del Este Expat Meeting“, Eduardo, in full action. Many of us know that „he can sing“, but what you see and hear here is just amazing. Eduardo is the small guy in the red shirt. Dancing with Luz del Alba is the mayor of Maldonado. Enjoy !!!
Have a look into the short youtube movie and the into the facebook movie from intendencia Maldonado. Copy and Paste the „fat“ addresses into your browser.

What’s the Magpie?
It’s is a free English-language newsletter. It provides information about upcoming activities and events in Punta del Este. You’ll also find useful tips, interesting stories, and humor. Worth to read !!!
It’s delivered by email twice a month during the summer to all who request it.
According to Jonathan Lamb, the editor: „The Magpie will start off as two sides of A4: it will have no charge, no commercial advertising, no website, and no cash sponsors…“
Jonathan, who is from the south of England, spent two-and-a-half years in Uruguay during the mid-1980s at the British Embassy. During this time, he met and married Beatriz di Pace, a veterinarian. Jonathan’s career took the newlyweds to the UK and Romania. Then in 1993, he left the Foreign and Commonwealth Office for the European Commission in Belgium. In 2004, the couple, now with two daughters, returned to Uruguay.
In Uruguay, Jonathan is active in many creative endeavors. He writes performance verses. He designs unusual things, like a delayed-action toy catapult (‚the world’s least successful invention‘) and a croquet hoop that works on artificial surfaces. He has served as editor of the British Society in Uruguay newsletter. He writes, directs and acts in plays. And he provides English voice overs for film and TV.
Now, he’s producing the Magpie. Magpie is the shortcut from „Magazine for Punta in English“.
To receive the Magpie, simply write Jonathan at „vozinglesa@gmail.com“. Write ‘Subscribe Magpie’ in the subject line and request being added to the mailing list.
The above Magpie information I took over from David Hammond’s blog. Thank you !!
