Photos and Hairnets from Mendoza, Argentina

The cellar of AltaVista Winery - very Cask of Amontillado-esque.

The view over the vineyard.

My trusty steed for the bike/wine tour.

Las chicas bonitas y un arbol bonito tambien.

A tiny part of the gigantic, man-I'm-going-to-get-lost-in-here-and-never-emerge park in Mendoza.

The view from the bus - otherworldly.

The charter bus had T.V.s - notice the reflection in the photo.

Holy. Moly.

Kind of like Montana. And Wyoming.
And Heaven.

Can you spot the road?

Life goal you never knew you had = drive over Andes in a bus.
Check.

So Mendoza, Argentina is incredible. O increible, depending on your language preference.
The bus ride over the Andes? Superbien.
It reminded me of Going-to-the-Sun Road, for all you Montuckians out there.
Except it wasn't a national park.
It just was.
On a photographic sidenote, our guide for the bike/wine tour told us to smile for the camera and say something that sounded like "hairnet."
I still don't know what he wanted us to say, but I like the idea of smiling and saying "hairnet!" for a picture.
We should try it sometime.
Hairnet!
