The wine region...

So, instead of heading downwards and seeing some whales, we decided to head to the wine country and relax for a while. We found a hostel with a yard where we could put up our tent, which we have been dying to try out for a long time. At night it is about 2 degrees minus but our little home (the tent) is nice and warm and our sleeping bags are great!

Our first impression of Mendoza was not very nice because the weather was dull and grey the first 2 days, but as the sun moves in it seems nicer and varmer.

We took a trip to a winehouse one of the days, walked around and tasted some wine which was nice. When we came out of the winery it had started snowing with big nice snowflakes, it was beautiful, but a bit cold.

They also have a very big park here in Mendoza which we spent half a day walking in and on a clear day like it was we could see beatiuful mountains all around the city.

At night we had a nice dinner with some argentinian wine, I made homemade (well, hostelmade...) beefstew with wine, beetroot and carrots, served with rice...best meal we have had so far, but i have high hopes for the food in Chile.

Today is our last day here, we are waiting for the bus that leaves in 3 hours, we visited a nice food market today and spent some hours in the sun, reading books.

Our next destination is Bariloche where we will do some trekking and downhill skiing! it is just a 20 hour bus ride away...

And by the way, the system to upload pictures on this site is working very good again, so we have put alot of new pictures from Brazil. and mom(My mom, titti that is) here is a really beatiful plant that blooms in the winter here in Argentina, maybe something for Sweden, but I dont know the name of it...

flowers in the winter again
