MEnDoZA


Me n Sinead left Bariloche and stayed night in the most peaceful friendly little town cuddled by mountains called San Martin de Los Andes.



Unfortinately it was raining loads so we couldnt see much of the place. So I stayed in and made a cover for the muzic box for a larf since i kept dropping it.......gawd i miss sewing!


We got a bus to Mendoza. We waited in the terminal. It was boring....I hope this photo reflects my boredom (hahaha im ridiculously funnnyy..........aaahhhahahaharrrrgggggggggggggg)

Turns out my name is written on the floor in mendoza.


We walked to big park...........walked round it couple of times, got tired and went back to our hostel.




In the park not only do grown adults snoggg off one aothers face likie pubescent lovers they also show their love for respective partners by hacking their names into trees.





I used the banos.




We went white water rafting and horse riding one day, it was sooper. This was the backdrop of the day.



This is the shadow of Vino Blanco (horsey) and myself having fun.










There was a cat at the place where we did the rafting. It sat on us. It prrrrrrrrrred and we stroked it.




Me and my sister went on a tour of a olive oil factory. It was interesting. We learnt how to disinguish between pure virgin olive oil and regular olive oil.
This was in the factory...................




This box probably had electric in it................


We then went on a vineyard and wine factory tour.




The discarded grapes get lobbed on a heap on the floor. later sumone collects em' and makes grappa.



These are leaves picked a from a tree. They are sid to have healing proprties and can clear breathing passages. I put them in my Matte (tea).
Ironically I got ill two days later. The two events were not connected.




I got hungry at the factory. At that point I saw a olive tree. I munched 1. It was so sour i got stressed out. It was really horrid and upsetting.



I sampled red wine and made a face like i enjoyed it.

















Later we got another frickin bus to Chile.





















Sinead thought she was a badman coz she smuggled garlic accross the border when the explicitly explained.
'NO frutas or veg'




















Coming soon .............
