We suffer through the worst hotel breakfast yet!\u00a0 Coffee and dog biscuits!\u00a0 I swear, the ‘bread’ they served us was worse than any dog biscuit could be!\u00a0 We head south on a great road, and travel though miles and miles of desert.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We stop for lunch, just because we are so bored with the scenery, and then continue through more, even more desolate desert!\u00a0\u00a0 We do a chain adjustment on both bikes, and discover more missing nuts and bolts.\u00a0 Levi’s axle seems to tighten in too much, and my (new) chain seems to be stretching out badly.<\/p>\n
\u00a0We get kind of confused near San Juan, but get on the correct road and head towards Mendoza on a modern freeway.\u00a0 We pass through \u00a0vineyards and orchards, and wine-making regions that smell wonderful.\u00a0 We get sprayed by some sort of chemical stuff at the state border, and continue well after dark into the huge, modern, European-style city of Mendoza, the wine capital of Argentina.\u00a0 We find a very nice hotel with parking.<\/p>\n
We take a cab to a tavern we read about for dinner.\u00a0\u00a0Mendoza is a very fancy, sophisticated city, with lots of outdoor cafes and plazas and fountains.\u00a0 My chest is hurting big time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
