| Tea in a Texas mug and a lady finger or "Riki sima" for a quick breakfast before I headed out for the bus to take me to Potrerillos, a small mountain town about 1.5 hours away from Mendoza. |
 |
| I've been to Potrerillos once before, but this time we took the bus even further to "Alto Potrerillos." |
 |
| The entrance to the cabins. The name of the town and the name of our cabin rental place were the same, Alto Potrerillos, which proved to be only a little confusing. |
 |
| Two pools and a breathtaking view. |
 |
| Our cabin's name was Jupiter. |
 |
| That's ours! |
 |
| Hey, friends. |
 |
| There was also a playground. |
 |
| With a zip-line... |
 |
| Naturally, we had to utilize the equipment. |
 |
| Went for a short hike to look around the town and climb a hill. |
 |
| Dinner for the first night was pasta with a ton of veggies. |
 |
| Discovered a new favorite tea: Rosa Mosqueta y Manzanilla. Not sure about the translation. Something with chamomile. |
 |
| Day 2: Oatmeal and raisins for breakfast before our long hike. |
 |
| After searching for a path and ending up having to crawl through a fence, we were met by a herd of cows blocking our way... |
 |
| Finally made it to the top! |
 |
| Banana in the Andes. |
 |
| Salami sandwich in the Andes. |
 |
| Got a little lost on the way back from the hike. Ended up on someone's private farm after crawling under/through two fences. Post hike ice cream helped with the stress. Dulce de leche (OMG THIS WAS SO GOOD) and chocolate. |
 |
| Dinner Day 2: Rice, beans, veggies. Beans are not popular in Argentina. We looked in the grocery store for awhile to find some, but I'm pretty sure these are actually lentils. |
 |
| Blurry picture of some amazing bread I had on the bus back to Mendoza. |
