Since the last post, I figured out we can see Aconcagua peak from our room. Its the highest peak in North and South America. Didn’t notice it before because it stays fogged in a lot of the time, but here is a shot. We are renting a car this morning to drive down to some of the vineyards, and I will try to get a shot of it without buildings in the way.
Speaking of car rental. These people drive crazy and there are daredevil motorcycles everywhere. Wish us luck today. Not sure I’ve ever seen an cable powered bus before, so here it is.
One of the things we notice about mendoza is the green space. It is a dense city but they have huge parks every couple of blocks an most of the streets are covered by a thick canopy of trees. I took my life in my hands to stand out in the middle of the street and look up to get this shot. Next two are the main park, Independence Plaza.
Happy New Year – We will toast you three tonight!
Love you,
Randi & Syd
