Vino, vino y mas vino!

Oh how I love Mendoza.  I am in Malbec heaven!  I am sipping a bottle of 2006 Occhioverde Malbec as I write this post.  It's nothing fancy, everyday average, but a nice bottle nonetheless.  I am slowly getting used to the idea that I am not going home anytime soon. Tomorrow will be one week on the road and that is typically when my internal vacation clock starts to tell me to wrap it up and get ready to go home.  It's still weird to think that I have another 6 1/2 weeks in Argentina.  To be honest, I can't really fathom that right now but that is perfectly ok.  I am looking forward to evaluating my state of mind once I am into this 4 or 5 weeks.  I've never been away for that long.  I can predict it will be a very, very good thing.

Some pics of the past few days.
