Well I wish we were more excited to share news of an awesome apartment, an amazing city and our instant web of new friends...Sorry we are still a bit somber ourselves. Mendoza lacks a certain vibe, energy, something that we both thought it would definately have. Dont get me wrong the city is nice to stroll in and has great big trees, bottomless wine but no vibrant life. I do not want to wrong you in that the city is no good, but as most things here they are not what they seem or what we built them up in our heads to be? (this seems to be our constant dilemma, so with advice from our new savvy traveling friends, ¨just expect less¨). However, I envision the summers and fall here to be awesome.
SO We are in full swing with spanish classes and are enjoying more structured learning, i am still convinced talking, talking and more talking is the best way to learn! We are in a sweet hostal, surrounded by good folk and comfort. Tonight is also officially the 7th night in one place!!! A record for this trip which is hard to believe but wow we need to relax a bit. Our classes contradict this place as a whole, late dinners mixed with a bottle of wine, then awake before sun to walk in the cold to class. Someone needs to share the daylight savings concept to these folk as well as a nice dinner spot for a 7pm dinner (not 10-12). Also not much snow here, no until next week in Chile we will wait to ski. I should cheer up, i have a new guacho hat and i am madly in love with my travel partner !!!!
