February 24th Mendoza Argentina



We caught a bus this morning to the base of Aconcagua. The tallest mountain in the southern hemisphere and the tallest mountain outside of the Himalayas. 22,850 ft.

We had more steak and more wine and met some trekkers that just finished the climb. It took them 10 days to climb it and 4 to get back down. So we decided to pass.

The ride up the canyon was gorgeous and relaxing, at least until Sally opened a 2 liter soda that had been rolling around under our feet. Have you seen those mentos videos? It was kindof like that.

After returning to Mendoza we called it an early night.
