Mendoza

April 13-16th


Leaving Chile so I get a new visa

 

Waiting to stamp our passports in the
lines that are for cars
 

Trees making a bridge over every street

 

Shopping in the park, mom with
the necklace she bought
 

Outside the nice (and warm!) café

 

Lots of water in some of the gutters

 

Entrance to the big park in Mendoza
 

Pepper trees
 

Campgrounds with table, asado, running
water, light and garbage can for each site
 

Our guides for horseback riding
 

And we are ready to go
 

My first time on a horse
 

Mom with gentlest horse they had
 

Clara and Martina in the mountains
 

Pollo al disco when we came back
 

Eating our chicken on bread,
we were hungry by then
 

Mom in the chocolate store on Easter

 

Martina at the hostel

 

Our Hostel

 

Mom and dad enjoying the view
on the bus back to Santiago
 

Cute cactuses sticking up like
heads in the valleys
 

View of the mountains as we leave the city
 

Resevoir with Medozas drinking water
 

Martina and I on the bus home
 

In the foothills beyond the refinery is
where we went horseback riding
 

On our way to Argentina looking up
at the road to the border
 

Looking down the Chilean side of the
border in cold, grey weather
 

Nice colours in the rock

 

Same road but on our way home
with warm sunny weather
 

Curvy road down on the Chilean side
of the border (same valley as above)
