Here is a clip of an audio tour of the old city of Montevideo, Uruguay: "Stop here, in front of the gates of the palace on your right.The family's name is Taranco. Spain has different languages, depending on the region. In Galician Spanish, taranco means door. I like to think of the family name as Gates, considering the grand entrance.Now make your way around the corner to the right, following the palace entrance, and walk towards the plaza ahead.[2 SECOND PAUSE]Take note of the garden behind the house. It was the site of lavish parties in the 1920's and '30's.  As the night went on, the ballroom doors would open to the garden and the garden led to the plaza.  The family downsized when the oldest of the sons, José, was suffering from the stress of the import business. They took him to Chile, where he could sit looking out over the Pacific in peace.Keep walking. I'll meet you at the corner ahead.  (user595668745)
