Mendoza

We left Bariloch a few days ago with some friends we picked up. We were to arrive on christmas eve in Mendoza and for some reason we could not see anything wrong with that. Basically we got here and everything was closed. People in Argentina celebrate christmas a day before with a big dinner, so finding a place to eat involved much walking around the city. Only one place was open, and frankly it was pretty disgusting.

Christmas day was pretty horrible in that litterally everything was closed. This was one wasted day just doing nothing interesting. Our plans to do a secret santa were foiled by lazy people not working on national holidays. Damn them!

Yesterday was quite alot of fun, though. Mendoza is right in the heart of the Argentinian wine country. There are many wineries that all produce a variety of very good wine and someone came up with a genious idea of doing a tour of these on bikes. Needless to say, the scorching heat didn´t exactly help the countless number of glasses of wine we had.
