First Day at the Vineyards

We were picked up at 10am by a driver and taken to Maipu, part of Mendoza´s wine country. We were given a map, terrible bikes, and told to have fun. We followed the map from a wine museum, to a liquor-chocolate factory, to various vineyards. There was not a cloud in they sky and so we had a stunning view of the snow capped Andes as we biked along the roads.

We sipped all sorts of Malbec, ate some empanadas de pollo, took a shot of weird liquors (dulce de leche with banana and chocolate chips for Erika, green pepper for Nuri) and took deep breaths of the valley air. By the time 6 rolled around were were all tuckered out (`knackered´ as our British pals would say) from the biking and touring.

On our way we met a fun TESOLer who invited us to her house tomorrow to learn more about her New Age religion. Why not? This is a fun adventure.
