From Santiago we crossed the border into Argentina. It was about an 8 or 10 hour bus ride to Mendoza. Along the way we drove through the mountains and could even see skiiers. July and August is the best time to ski in Chile. We were hoping to get to Mendoza in time to go to a winery but we really didn't. We only had a few hours for dinner really before getting back on a bus to go to Cordoba. The only real picture I have of Mendoza is a fountain in one of the plazas.
Cordoba was a nice city. It was bigger than Mendoza. Mostly we relaxed, went to cafes, went to eat, went to the park, and walked around. We went to one nice museum that was a converted mansion. We also felt like watching a movie. The only one in English (with spanish subtitles) was The Hangover, which they translated into Que Paso Ayer? or What happened yesterday?.
One thing we found really strange is that a lot of restaurants appeared to be closed. At least thats what we thought. But it turns out Argentinians don't eat until around 9pm. We found a grill place around 8pm that was just setting up. The food was so good but so much. Most people go for the steak, which Argentina is famous for, but I'm not much of a red meat eater so I had the chicken. Man, was it good. I did have a bite of the steak. I drowned it in Chimichurri sauce, and it tasted pretty good. I don't think I could have a whole one though.
