We are in Mendoza!!
Great news: The sun came out!!!! It's been raining since our second day in BA so we are so happy for some summer skies. We spent the last 2 days lounging by the pool sunning ourselves and reading.

The Mendoza province sits in the western-central region of Argentina, just over 1,000 km west of Buenos Aires. Its a city famed around the world for its vineyards and wine production. The western edge of the province shares a natural border with the Andes Mountains and Santiago, Chile is about 380 km further west. The low-lying plains and continental climate make the province of Mendoza an idyllic wine-producing region. It produces over two-thirds of Argentina’s wine. The end of summer is harvest time, when the grapes reach full ripeness....we were lucky to witness the harvest during our wine tour.

It's a really beautiful city, easy to walk around, long wide walking streets lined with cafe's, tons of parks. You could get very comfortable here. Our hotel has a big gorgeous pool as well which we have been enjoying very much!
There is live music everywhere too, every time we sit for a meal there is either a band or a guy with a guitar serenading the crowds nearby, it makes for great atmosphere.
We plan on partaking in some wine tours as well and have a bike trip booked that has us bike 18km between several wineries and serves a 4 course lunch with different wine to taste with each course. I'm sure my biking ability will disintegrate throughout the day! haha
