Nov. 8th, Bariloche, Argentina
WOW, what a gorgeous place this is!!!! We crossed the Andes this a.m. at 4,000 feet in the snow!!! It is breathtaking. Now we are here in the argentine side of the lake district. Our luxurious hotel is right on the lake with beautiful snow covered mtns. surrounding it. What we call high desert is called Steppes here, but very similar. It reminds us of Mammoth. This is the winter and summer playground for Argentina, lots of skiing and summer sports. It is VERY cold right now, with a really cold wind.
Bariloche is known for it´s chocolate---how perfect is that? And Argentina is known for their Malbecs, which a VERY nice one might cost a whole $8.00 US. We are having such a good time. Our group is very cute.
Please let us know in your comments that all is well at home with you all, too, OK? This one way stuff sort of sucks. We love hearing from you. I can also receive Email through my gmail accout....so feel free to use that. We are here for 3 nights so I have access to a computer. My stupid phone is driving me nuts. I can´t call, and I already posted something today and it didn´`t get posted!!!! ARRRRRRG
PS, The men are quite handsome! Haven´t checked out the ladies, but men for those interested----YES! Tall, dark and handsome.
Love you all,
phi

Hey world travelers!
Thanks for the descriptive details you are sharing with all of us. I almost feel as if I was there with you. I must admit that I pictured you sweltering away in SA and the whole Argentina near Antarctica (or is it the Arctic) boggles my mind. Wish I had paid better attention in geography classes! Have also loved hearing about the great food and drink. What fun!!! We booked a trip to Spain and Portugal in April, which includes a horse farm and farm luncheon visit. Wonder if it is the same travel group? Anyway, your blogs are whetting our appetites for adventure. Can't wait to read your next entry! Besos, Dawn
Oh my goodness! This is incredible! I can't believe you get to stay at a gorgeous place like that for the next few days! Sound beautiful! Love the chocolate comment. I mean...seriously, how perfect is that? Are you taking lots of pictures? Malbec is my new fave wine...possibly because I really want to visit Argentina...but at least you know someone who will gladly consume that fancy $8 bottle of Malbec!
All is well in Pasadena with autumn leaves falling quickly. Absolutely love your travel journaling. Wine sounds good, the men sound excellent. Keep the reports coming. cindy
I got distracted reading about the Malbec and began to daydream about my favorite Malbec that Trader Joe's used to sell. Bet it doesn't even begin to compare to the deliciousness you are drinking. Salud! (do they say that in Argentina?)
