Hey,
sorry it has been so long since i last chimed in. We finally made it over to Buenos Aires. the city is huge, but we like what we see so far. Saturday we are going to the world cup qualifier vs. colombia. i am happy to say we will be sitting in a chilled out section rather than the crazy fanatic section so we don´t have to worry about getting killed. other than that we will just check out the city until Iguazu Falls next week. Rumbles leaves next Saturday for Sea town so time is really winding down for him. As for me, I am trying figure out some plans for the 3 weeks after he leaves before I go to Africa.
Previously we were in Mendoza, Argentina which is the primary wine region of the country. it is a pretty nice place and most people head that way from Chile for vineyard tours and wine tasting. The hostel we stayed at offered free wine to the guests, so wine tours weren´t necessary, but we still made it out to the vineyards by bike. Some other people biking with us could really taste the difference between wines, but all taste the same to us. There are two types of wine in my opinion. Carlo Rossy and all the other guys. but hey, i still consider myself a wine enthusiast.
The rest of Chile, was pretty good. Both of us were surprised about how nice and clean Santiago was. It has a quality subway system which made it great for getting around. we tried going out one night to a club, but nothing started until 1 am. we made it until about 11PM before heading home. Rumbs ended up staying in Santiago for 8 days, but i decided to head down to the lakes district to a city called Pucon. this was one of the coolest cities on the trip for me. it is such a tranquil place and a paradise for any outdoorsmen. i had a couple sweet days of hiking and biking, but no pictures. I forgot to take Rumbles camera.
that is all. keep smiling.
J and P
