Tierra Mendocina

---

Or "the land of Mendocian people" is the appropriatly named b&b that I stayed at for a week during my first time around in Mendoza. Spending a few days crusing around with Jake and Louise - some brits that i´ve met - we perused the streets, saw your typical monumental localities and just generally piged out at local resteraunts and helados (icecream). What a rough time huh?

These Mendocian people and I suspect the nation at large, have let things go in the traffic control department. Basicly if you want to survive as a pedestrian; don´t assume a pedestrian crossing means you can cross whenever you like, you may end up on the windscreen of a bus or peugeot-taxi. However, if your too cautious you´ll never get anywhere, they´ll only stop if you put yourself between them and the road, so its a fine line between go and no. If your confident with the laws of motion or stick to one block, you´ll be fine.

Unfortunatly my time in Mendoza has been taken up by finishing off my qualifications to teach English, so not too much to tell, unless you´re thinking of learning English, which I highly doubt. So at this juncture my two months of solo travels are over and Carly will be joining me in Santiago in a few days, a highly anticipated reunion...

Rabbit-Dogs
Check out these fellas, they look like rabbits right, but they walk around like dogs with straight little legs.

This is the border between Argentina and chile - note the lack of snow.
