It was a beautiful sunny day in the Uruguayan beach town of La Paloma. It was mid-November when I was there. It was too early for it to be "in season," so the town was empty.
Here is your northern hemisphere translation. Mid-November in Uruguay is the same as mid-May. Latitudinally, La Paloma is at 34 degrees, 39 minutes south. On the Atlantic coast of the United States, this is pretty much precisely the latitude north for Morehead City, North Carolina, just south of the Outer Banks. So mid-November in La Paloma is the same as mid-May on the North Carolina coast: beautiful, not quite summer, empty (well, "empty" like it was in the 1980s when I lived in Virginia).
Visited November 2013.
