Carolina Pejo impressed Jonathan Walters by cheering dancers at a tango performance in Uruguay. He impressed her with “the best kiss I ever received.”
Ana Carolina Pejo Henderson and her parents were sure Jonathan Milam Walters would run the other way after spending a couple days in August 2022 wrangling, shearing and vaccinating a few hundred baby lambs on their farm in Artigas, Uruguay, bordering Brazil.
To everyone’s surprise, and delight, he got the job done, and stayed.
“I wear silk scarves — cravats — and cashmere sweaters,” said Mr. Walters, 37, who grew up in Richmond, Va., and moved to Montevideo, Uruguay in December 2021.
“There was something about Latin America that enchanted me,” he said, and expected to use Uruguay as his base, while he explored the region.
A month later, he missed hearing English so much, his ears perked up when he heard Dr. Pejo, 38, who goes by Carolina, speaking it with a friend at the Montevideo Beer Company in Punta Carretas.
