Wine, Chocolates and Olives, Oh My!
Just wanted to give you all a little update on where we are right now. As you know, we have been in Mendoza for the last two days wine tasting and are now trying to figure out if we want to go to Salta or Cordoba next. Either would be fine, but let me tell you the best part of the last two days. We rented bikes and went wine tasting!!! We camped out at a little spot outside of town and walked 10K to find the street with all the bodegas (wineries), the campground was a little farther out than we first thought, but it turned out fine in the end, the policia picked us up and took us to the bike place. We did winetastings at four different wineries and even went to an olive oil plantation where we found that the making of olive oil is ridiculously simple. The best part is we did the whole circut with out falling off our bikes. This morning we went to a chocolate factory were everything is hand made and we bought Absinthe. Little Green Fairy, here we come! We will let you know where we ended up in a day or two. Ciao!
