Hey Everyone!
Yesterday, after a strenuous day of travel, we arrived in the Mendoza province and its capital of the same name. The region is most known for its famous Malbec wines, and though we weren´t able to try even a bit, one can see the importance of the beverage to the city.
We spent today sightseeing the town in the bus, disembarking with our guide to see the Jesuit ruins. From there, we went to the center where we had free time to eat lunch in the restuarants surrounding the Plaza de la Independencia. The area is a mix of tourist shops and cafes full of both foreigners and locals.
We met up after lunch to go to the Parque General San Martin, where we decided to take a hike. The hike, strenuous for some, took us to the top of the hill giving panoramic views of the city. At the summit, there was a monument depicting General San Martin leading an army on an equally strenuous trek across the Andes.
Upon return, we went to the supermarket where we stocked up for the next strenuous journey. Tomorrow, we wake up to go to Chile, the native country of our beloved Coordinator, Ron! We anxiously await the next chapter of our trip.

Hola a Todos!
Ayer llegamos a la provincia de Mendoza y su capital del mismo nombre despues un dia muy largo de viaje. La region es mas conocida por el famoso vino Malbec, y aunque no pudimos probar ni una copita, se nota la importancia de la bebida a la ciudad.
Hoy pasamos el dia recorriendo el pueblo en colectivo y de pie. Bajamos al lado de las ruinas jesuiticas y nuestra guia nos explico la historia de la iglesia destruida. De alli, nos fuimos al centro donde teniamos tiempo libre para almorzar en los restaurantes alrededor de la Plaza de la Independencia. La zona es una mezcla de tiendas turisticas y cafes llenos de extranjeros tanto como Mendocinos.
Nos reunimos despues de almuerzo para ir a el Parque General San Martin. Subimos un cerro dedicado al general. Encima del cerro, habia un monumento mostrando el ejercito argentino encargado por San Martin traversando los Andes.
Despues de bajar el cerro, nos fuimos al super para comprar comida para el proximo viaje largo. Manana, nos despertamos temprano para ir a Chile, el pais nativo de nuestro querido Coordinador Ron! Esperamos ansiosamente el siguente capitulo de nuestro viaje.
