August 10, 2005Taking it EZ in Mendoza!
So, i think Mendoza will mark the furtherst south i will travel on my journey. In fact tomorrow i will travel to Santiago, Chile to chill for the weekend, then i will start heading back up to Peru. Here in Mendoza ive just been spoiling myself with steaks, pizzas, gelato, expressos, mate, superb wines, and good imported beer (stella atrios..my fav!). I figure since my trip is about to be up and since Chile is expensive and Peru is ghetto..i might as well enjoy the cheap bounty of Mendoza, Argentina. So I went snowboarding just out side of Mendoza and it was great. I was blessed with fresh powder so it was certiantly a highlight of my trip. Aside from the snowboarding, not much to report since i left from Salta. Visited wineries and a zoo here in Mendoza...and have watched alot of movies at my hostal. Mendoza has been a great and very relaxing pit stop on a long and hard journey. Next stop santiago to see some measumes and check out how Chileans rock it. Comments
