Argentina

We have been in Argentina for a few days. In Mendoza, we walked around the city which had multiple plazas. There was lots going on- vendors and different comedy acts. It was fun for people watching. We also did a wine tour which was informative, but we didn´t care too much for the tastings because they weren´t liberal enough! We have been enjoying the area´s wine, Malbec, with delicious steaks. We like the food here the best so far. I just have to get used to eating so late. Argentines don´t eat dinner until around ten.
We are now in the city of Cordoba. It has several universities so there are alot of young people here with plenty of restraunts and bars. Today we took a two hour bus ride to a German town! (Doug has been homesick) It´s called Villa General Belgrano, and their origins are from a German battleship which sank during WWII. It was very fun. Lots of shops with gnomes and cool knicknacks- both Argentinian and German.
Tomorrow we are taking an early bus to another town, Rosario.
