Mendoza! Part One

Hi friends and family,

Our latest update is about a little trip we took this week. We had to renew our visas, so we thought: hey, why not go to mendoza?! It was pretty awesome.





The journey there was breathtaking. It's about an eight-hour bus ride on "El Rapido" (The Fast) bus company. Only, El Rapido is not so fast-o. More like slow-o. Here's our bus at the Chilean-Argentinean border.




The Andes are massive and totally different than the Rockies, transforming along the drive from ski-slope snowy to a dusty green rockface to pure desert.




Click on the photos. It's worth a closer look!

I'll let Greg-o tell you more about the actual trip in Part Two. I have to get back to something very serious that I missed in Argentina...

Corazon Rebelde (Rebellious Heart) My Chilean teen soap. Haha!

Love,
Eli

  1. I would love to go snowboarding there. It would be breath-taking. I love reading your blog.

    I have a must share. Abi is almost fully potty trained. I am very proud and she is doing almost completely on her own. But at 17 months old, I am very impressed with her. Telling you Breastmilk= brain cells.

    Much love.
