mendoza

---

you might think that a 14 hour bus trip across argentina would be a not so pleasant experience. I pictured a grey hound bus, with the driver telling me my music was too loud in my headphones, sitting next to someone that is either going to or coming from jail, maybe asking me if he can score some crystal meth. Wait....that was my experience when i took the bus from new orleans, to va. Here, the buses have 2 stories, seats that recline into beds and food and drinks served while you travel. It definitely made my day when i found that out. Now, mendoza is great too, I went to a winery called familia zuccardi and did some wine tasting, stayed in a really nice hotel for 25 dollars a night and hung out with the locals, my spanish is getting better the more I try. Now it´s off to Bariloche, southern argentina, my buddy told me about how there is horseback riding and camping, and that sounds right up my alley. After that it´s back to the east coast and headed up towards buenos aires in time to catch iguazu falls during the full moon. PEACE
