Mendoza, Argentina

After crossing the border into Argentina at 8am, we waited for a 3:30pm bus to take us to Mendoza. After a 27 hour bus ride with a sick stomach, I was thrilled to arrive in Mendoza and get a nice, comfortable bed and have a nice clean bathroom.
I´m quite happy to be in Argentina. The food is amazing and it´s so clean in comparison to where I´ve been recently. It actually reminds me a lot of Italy or other cities in Europe. It´s really nice. We were planning to do a little shopping here to get some stuff we´ll need for the snow, but I guess it´s a public holiday and most of the shops are closed. A few were open so we were able to get some necessities, eat, drink, and use these computers. Did I mention that the food is amazing? Yum! And real coffee. Awwwww.... Big sigh of relief.
Very happy and feeling quite a bit better too. I´m still a little sick, but nothing like I was before. I´m sure I´ll get better very quickly here.
Tomorrow morning we are supposed to take a bus to Melargue where we´ll stay a few days and from where we´ll take daily buses to Las Leñas to snowboard. YAY!!! I´ve wanted to go snowboarding in Argentina for years and I finally get to do it. I´m so excited.
