So yesterday after arriving in Mendoza, I walked around the city quite a bit checking out the different plazas and parks. I of course took in some excellent food as well. In fact I had chorizo for dinner that was fantastic! They really know how to cook beef down here. After dinner I hung out at the hostel with people sitting around and drinking.
Today I did a wine and bike tour. We biked between a number of different wineries and sampled wine and took tours. I met up with a group of students from St. Louis that are in BA for school for 4 months. We hung out and had a good time. I really enjoyed the day even if it was extremely hot and the bike sucked. Luckily it wasn´t as bad as last year´s bike trip in Chile. This trip was only 24 kilometers round trip and didn´t have any mountains that I had to bike up or down. I didn´t drink enough wine so that I was unable to ride my bike. With it being so hot out, I didn´t want to risk getting sick since that´s not a good way to start vacation. Tomorrow I´m doing a canopy tour where you go back and forth across the river on zip lines. I then need to try and get a bus out tomorrow night to Cordoba. Hopefully everything goes as planned.
