Argentina, anyone??

Derek and I arrived in Santiago, Chile yesterday and founnd it to be a very bland and sterile place to be. Don´t get me wrong, we were only there for 24 hours so we didn´t get the chance to experience all of it but- we decided to get out quickly..

So, we fled to Valparaiso, Chile early this morning. Valparaiso is a very colorful and beautiful city nestled in the hills on the coast of Chile.. approx. 2 hrs. away from Santiago. The immense character of this place made for a very enjoyable day of exploring. However, we met an englishman who highly suggested a trip to Mendoza, Argentina. Argentina was not on our original itinerary but we just booked a bus ride there for tomorrow!!

Supposedly, Mendoza is a "must see" with much to do.. including a 40k bikeride/winery tour!

Tell you all about it when we get there..

Ciao
