Out of Wine Country, Into Patagonia

by Kimberly on October 30, 2008

We’re leaving Mendoza tonight on another 20+ hour bus ride. In less than a day we’ll be in Patagonia, where we’re hoping for some great scenery and good hiking.

To tide you over, here are some of our favorite Mendoza moments and sights.

Patagonia doesn’t have too many mullets, but I think you will enjoy some of the fashions. See you soon!

I love the Euro-mullet!

Must be a Mediterranean thing. I’ve seen it in Italy and Turkey as well.
