Fiesta Days draws curious visitors
Neill Burnett of Minneapolis, knew that there was a Montevideo, Minnesota, but he had never thought of visiting until he made a trip to Montevideo, Uruguay in 2019. While visiting with a Danish expatriate in Uruguay, Burnett was asked what he knew about Minnesota’s Montevideo and Burnett responded that he knew little aside from that it existed. The Dane told Burnett that after he had moved to Uruguay, a package he was expecting from Denmark was shipped to Montevideo, Minnesota instead. The package in question eventually found its way to Montevideo, Uruguay, but the experience left the Danish resident of Uruguay with a fond curiosity about Minnesota’s Montevideo and he told Burnett that he hoped to visit someday.
