Oh no, now I have really lost readership. The last couple didn't have any pictures, that is so rude. I'm back. Sorry for my negligence. Where do I start?
My friend from home, who is studying in BsAs visited a few weeks ago, so we did all of the touristy things around Mendoza. It was fun to play the tourist for a short while. We rented bikes from a place called Mr. Hugo's, and spent the day riding along "el camino de vinos" where there are several Bodegas in a row. We did a couple of wine tastings at small boutique wineries and then went to an olive oil factory. All of them were delicious and really fun to visit. The actual bike ride was really bizarre. There is no real path to ride on, so you find yourself riding along the street, on the dirt shoulder. Police officers in cars and on bikes followed us the whole way, to ensure we wouldn't get robbed. It was unnerving. Once we returned to Mr. Hugo's they handed out some wine which I'm sure was bootleg, and we sat around for quite a while just talking to other travelers. It was really fun, and I met a new friend who is just lovely. Beckie and I had a great time. The picture below is from a night we went to a piano concert of a friend here, he was so marvelous I teared up.
