Mendoza and Symphony

We arrived in Mendoza on Thursday and we are already super impressed. It is a much more walkable city with impressive parks. One park in particular, General San Martin is a smaller version of NY’s Central Park. It’s enormous. It’s an amazing place to running or biking and is seemingly mobbed with people at all times.

Dogs run wild and free everywhere, there’s a small lake to kayak, buildings for concerts and venues. That park is also where we go for the wine festival. Stacy and I went for a 3 mile run there and it wonderful.

There are some pedestrian only streets with shops and restaurants I still want to see. Last night Stacy and I went to see symphony alongside a very popular accordionist. Never expected such a thing but makes sense given the importance of the accordion in Tango music. It was great.

The orchestrator stopped for a long applause after every song. Each time there was seemingly a standing ovation as if it were to be their last song even though it was their first:). It was a fun day and look forward to seeing more of the city tomorrow. It was hard to get pictures of the park because it wouldn’t do it justice.Read more
