After all the suggestions (or shall I call them ultimatum) saying that I should have a blog, I have now surrendered. I tried convincing some friends that facebook or smallworld would do just fine to post some news and pictures, but that message did not get through. Some advocated the use of email as preferred way to communicate but on that one I do agree that a blog replaces quite some emails and works as kick off for further communication. So I decided to give it a try. Not sure how long it will last, how often I will post, not even what I will post, but I will try something out. After all, I always had writing ambitions (long ago put inside a box with a rusty lock) so who knows this may bring the spirit on again. Shall the posting begin :-)
Yesterday the internet in Argentina did not cooperate so no update. The day in Mendoza was great, with the nice and small family Vineyard of Altos de Hormigas being one of my favourites. They were very nice and the Malbec reserva the one that finally convinced me to like Malbec! We still had one more vineyard to go, Familia Zucatti, where we had a great lunch but the tours was already too much, we prefered to walk around on our own. But again, very different and very worth it! Today, we added Tevia to the group (after she came in my room at 5am) and repeated the Cemeterio since Tev and Shilps had not seen it, and then Malba. Surprise, surprise. Buenos Aires is not a small city but we still managed to run into Nitin and Ted in the Museum! We had a nice lunch with them and went for some more sightseeing in the afternoon. We went to Plaza de Mayo where the Casa Rosa is, walked down Calle Florida, the shopping street and up to Plaza San Martn for an excellent night view of the city. No
