On Wednesday evening, Craig accompanied me on the shuttle from our hotel to the airport, where I was scheduled to catch an 11 hour redeye flight from Santiago to LAX, with a 7 hour layover before my connection to Reno. All went well and I'm home safe and sound.En savoir plus

89. Chile - Santiago & Vina del Mar
3 décembre 2019, Chili ⋅ ☀️ 72 °F
My last stop in South America before I head home!

Because of more political unrest and protestor demonstrations, Santiago was a bit of a bust for us. At the suggestion of the concierge, Craig and I set off on a day trip to Vina del Mar and the coast. It was a casual day of people watching at the beach and on the peatones, along with lunch overlooking the water. Truthfully I think both of us had our minds on the changes that would occur Thursday, with me travelling back to the States and Craig continuing south on his own.En savoir plus

88. Mendoza Argentina to Santiago Chile
1 décembre 2019, Argentine ⋅ ☀️ 48 °F
The sights on the drive from Mendoza across the border back to Chile included the mighty Aconcagua, the highest peak in North/South America, as well as several ski resorts. Portillo Resort is famous for Inca Lake that waits to punish any out of control skiers with an icy bath. Lends a new sense of urgency to the phrase "ski in control"!En savoir plus

Love Mendoza! Greater Mendoza is a city of almost 2 million people. Strolling through the streets, I feel like I'm in a mini version of NYC (without the skyline). The city of 21 sq miles is lined with shops, restaurants, bars, and plenty of accommodation options. There's no shortage of plazas and small parks as well.

The main industries here are olive oil and wine production, with a focus on Malbecs. We took a wine tour at 2 wineries, including Domiciano Winery, with a mostly Spanish speaking group. I connected with an old friendly woman who walked with a cane. I think she got hammered pretty fast. I didn't understand a word she said, but she made a joke and laughed, and I laughed too. (Maybe I was a little hammered as well?)En savoir plus

Today's travels took us from Salta City to the wine region of Cafayate. If you're tired of the mountain pix, just skip this step. For some reason, when we're driving through them, my camera finger gets trigger happy!

Tomorrow - wine tasting.En savoir plus

84. Change of Plans - off to Argentina
20 novembre 2019, Argentine ⋅ ☀️ 81 °F
Due to all of the demonstrations and roadblocks in Bolivia, we were forced to cut out many of the Bolivian cities from our itinerary, and ended up in Chile about 10 days ahead of schedule.

Chile is plagued with political unrest as well, so rather than fight it by heading down the Chilean coast, we scooted over to Argentina. I do have a flight home from the Chilean capital of Santiago on Dec 4, where the political demonstrations are focused, but we're hoping tensions subside before then, so I can get to the airport. If we can't drive through Chile safely, I may have to grab a flight from Argentina to Chile, just to get access to the Santiago airport. Geez. (Btw - when I mention this to my youngest sister, she just says "Well, that's what you signed up for, right?". And yup, she's right)

In the meantime, we went north in Argentina to a town called Humahuaca, which is described as "a painter's palette of color on barren hillsides". Enjoy the astounding colors of the mountains in these pix - they are not touched up.En savoir plus
