We had a wonderful afternoon touring the wineries and an olive oil factory in the outlying areas of Mendoza. We learned how to make wine and had a lesson in proper tasting and had many opportunities to taste the various specialty wines of the area. The tour was entirely in Spanish and we had no trouble understanding or asking questions. There was a minor celebrity on the minibus with us; a salsa musician from Puerto Rico who plays with Ricky Martin and other latin artists. Well, I had plenty to talk about with him since I attended the University of Puerto Rico and we were both UPI's, as the students are called. What fun reminiscing about those days and what a lovely gentleman he was.
It's time to sleep now since we have to take a 7:30 a.m. bus over the Andes to Santiago, Chile tomorrow morning.
Much more to come if we survive the trip!
