Spring Break: Part I

Spring Break Argentina 2008, a brief run-down:
  • Day 1 (nighttime, Buenos Aires): 12 hour bus ride to Mendoza, Argentine wine Mecca, via Full Cama (bed) bus...interesting traveling experience.  Turns out they're actually pretty comfortable, as the chair fully reclines into a horizontal position.
  • Day 2-3: Mendoza, Argentina--Wine tour on BIKES (!) one day, white-water (more brown-water than anything) rafting in the mountains...landscape reminiscent of California
  • Day 3/4: Bus ride to Catamarca...NEVER go there...nothing to see or do...crack-house hotel...only had to be there one day
  • Day 4/5: Bus ride again to Salta, way up in the northwest portion of the country...very nice hotel there for our 3 or 4 day stay
  • Day 5: Day-O-Fun--Trek out into the countryside for our excursion with EXTREME ADVENTURES aka Jetskiing and Bungee Jumping...kinda sketchy but fun in the end
  • Day 6: Hangin out, me feeling sick, great fun
  • Day 7: ATVing in the mountains!  Lots of fun
  • Return flight (finally a plane!) to BA
