We boarded a bus in Santiago, Chile this morning and spent the next seven hours making our way to Mendoza, Argentina. The scenery going through the Andes was amazing, the bus was very comfortable, and the border stop was fairly quick and easy. We have not traveled much by bus, but we definitely consider it a viable option for future travel after this wonderful experience. We did have a little snag when we got to the bus station in Mendoza because we were unable to withdraw cash from the ATM and the taxis didn't take credit cards. But, ultimately we worked everything out with the help of our landlord and finally arrived at our home for the month, which is a huge and wonderful place, in a very nice neighborhood, in the heart of Mendoza. We have been having so much fun fast traveling the last couple of weeks, and we are still sort of amazed by all we have seen and done, but we are ready to slow down and settle in for a while. Jeff will be taking a Spanish class while we are here, and the rest of us have various projects and activities to work on.

The vineyards in Mendoza are massive and beautiful.
We may or may not drink some wine while we're here! |
