Plaza Independencia
Mendocinos flock here in the afternoon to kick back on the grass, lick ice cream cones, give their dogs a place to run around, and help their kids learn to ride a bicycle.

Unsuspecting tourists with their eyes up in the trees, or unsuspecting partiers whose balance isn't the best---Cuidado!!! These ditches channel water (at times, fast-moving) all over the city.

One of the nicest parks I have ever seen!

Everywhere in Mendoza, even from the park, you see the Andes.
