Mendoza

First plane ride....
A natural flyer....
Driving up to the mountains for horseback riding


We are back from our trip to Mendoza! We had a great time. Yes, I tried some great wines with with my meals! Juan enjoyed the trip. He did great on the plane( a small one). The center of the city is very very clean. I found out there are no dogs allowed in the city. The area remineded me of Utah, AZ, Colo. There are many beautiful parks.


Our first full day we went horseback riding. After riding in the morning and then having lunch, we went back on the horse...a total of 4 hours of riding...OUCH! Yet, it was beautiful and Juan enjoyed learning to gallop on a horse! The views were beautiful. Overall a great day!


The second full day we woke up...VERY VERY SORE.... but we headed back up to the mountain to go rafting. We got into our wetsuits and had our training and headed on the river. Unfortunately, I could not use the camera. I will see if i can get photos from the DVD. It was cold, but Juan truly enjoyed it! He was placed in the front of the raft and needless to say got SOAKED :) Once again a great trip.


The last day we walked around looking for wines to buy. Juan ended up walking about 10 blocks with a box of 6 bottles :). A little heavy!


It was a quick trip but it was a nice one. I believe Juan enjoyed it... as he said each night

MUY BEUNO, Muy BIEN DIA( very good day).


Love
