Where can you buy beans for a bean bag in Montevideo?

It seemed to me that all 'bean' bags in Uruguay were actually filled with foam chips so I went on a mission to find actual beans to fill my bags. After much searching I managed to find bags of beans at a shop called Paganini Rossi, address: Colonia 2223 (not too far from Tres Cruces Mall area). 350pesos for a large bag (1kg worth). However, I made the bean bags myself because to find those is much harder - unless you like plastic/vinyl covered bags which seem to be able to be bought in Uruguay (but are not very comfortable to sit on).  It took me two 1kg bags of beans to fill each of my bean bags.

Does anyone need stickers from Devoto?

I have 3 full books of the stickers from Devoto for their current crockery promotion.  I won't be using them so if anyone needs them please let me know.

Where is Oceania del Polonio?

I just returned from a weekend away in Oceania del Polonio in the Rocha area.  It is the beach area before Cabo Polonio, but unlike Cabo, Oceania has electricity and running water.  There are a few houses scattered around Oceania but it is pretty rural - just sandy/dirt roads leading to each house and no street lights.  We booked a nice little 2 bedroom house on Airbnb.com and there are a few to chose from on that site.  Use this link if you are new to Airbnb and want a $25 credit:  www.airbnb.com/c/aswale?s=8

So if you are looking for a nice rural getaway on the beach I would recommend this quiet spot.  Just remember to take all your food/drinks/necessities with you and enjoy!
