Don't Cry for Me, Argentina



Argentina Baby! 

I took a trip this weekend to renew my visa and explore the cute little city of Mendoza. The landscape driving there was outstanding. I stayed in the city for a couple days walking the tree lined streets and visiting the plazas and cafes. Melanie, my dear friend, came and we had a lovely time together. We went to some natural hot springs and bussed through the wine country surrounding the city. 

I am getting ready to get back in the swing of classes and Rotary activities for the week. 

This was the snow on Thursday. By Friday, the pass was closed due to a snow storm. I made it over the pass just in time.

The Natural Hot Springs

One reasons I loved being was the vegetation reminded me so much of Arizona!
