This is a very common sight in Uruguay, that I did not see elsewhere. Horse carts marching with the most modern cars in the city side by side. In Uruguay horse carts like the one in the picture are used as a means of making a living, by the lower classes in Uruguay. They are used to carry out activities like: garbage digging, or cardboard recolection, or wood transporting. It usual to see them followed by one or two dogs.

I'm so glad I found your blog! My wife and I are coming to Uruguay from November 17-25 and you have helped us to get excited about the wonderful nation we'll be seeing!
james,
thanks for the feedback!! I hope you have a nice stay here in uruguay.
my sister and I used to count the horse carts that we saw when we were in Uruguay in 1963! I am amazed to see that they still exist. I find your blog a nice trip back to long ago memories. I see many familiar buildings in your pictures.
