Mendoza

Some Mendoza grapes on the vine. Tried them-delish!

I met up with my travel buddy Kellye Kuh in Mendoza, Argentina yesterday. We are traveling through Argentina and Brazil together. I took a gorgeous 6 hour bus ride from Santiago on Monday morning to Mendoza. Along the way I saw Mount Aconcagua- the highest mountain in the Americas! Upon arrival, I just walked around the city, shopped and lounged by the pool. It is soooooooooooo hot here. Such a shock from Peru, and North America. I ended up giving away/throwing away quite a bit of cold weather clothing.

Today Kellye and I did a biking wine tour to the vineyards around Mendoza where the world famous Argentinian malbecs are produced. We had such a blast!

Wine from our tasing at the Alta Vista winery.

Kellye and me at the vineyard.

What a gorgeous vineyard view!

We are about to leave our hostel in Mendoza and hop on the 15 hour bus ride to Buenos Aires. Thank goodness for Ambien. In BA we plan to hang out and meet up with Britt Cambas, our other travel partner. We are also going to a Beyonce concert. WooHoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
