Mendoza Day Two

This morning we had a typical Argentine breakfast in the hotel then walked nine blocks to a huge park which is like their version of Central Park only a lot bigger and with many sights in it, including a medical school, a huge man-made lake, a private yacht club, many monuments, sports fields and thousands of beautiful trees. We took a guided tour of the park which lasted all morning with stops for photos. I will try again later to post them. The internet is spotty and it´s hit or miss.

Well, after a lunch of gelato we are waiting for the minibus to take us on a winery tour which will be all in Spanish, as was the park tour. The weather here in Mendoza is magnificent. It reminds us of San Diego and is perfect for touring. The sun is very bright and there is a lovely breeze coming off the mountains. The people of this city are very polite and helpful. There are thousands of school children, all in the various uniforms of the schools they attend. It is a very young city. Gotta go now. The tour is here.
