Mendoza

 Went to Mendoza for a couple of days to look at some vineyards and try to understand the market, 
there are a few things we have learned so far
  • Their sun is hot I mean super hot, it will burn you within the hour
  • They eat a lot of meat, vegans and vegetarians be aware, 
  • They dont eat many vegetables except potatoes. 
  • Their wines are around 15% alcohol, yikes!

checked in to our hotel



 what a treat to be given this amazing lunch

Uruguay Colonia



Since Uruguay is an hour away by boat and Colonia is a UNESCO site 
we decided to visit it and were not disappointed. It was one of
the highlights of our visit. The small town is just beautiful.
A way to recognize someone from Uruguay is they carry around thermos of
hot water for their mate, they are obsessed and cant be without it. 


 





 these shoes with huge platforms seem to be all the rage here
