Day 169 (December 8): Muchas Gracias, Argentina
Not for nothing but this week Henry memorized perfect squares. So here's looking at you, Day 13^2. Let's review: Landed in Buenos Aires on November 10th. Spent November 24-30 in Uruguay Iguazu Falls Dec 1-4 Mendoza Dec 4-8 We've rounded it off to say that we were in Argentina for a month. We don't mean any disrespect to Uruguay but this is a shorter answer. Our last few days in Argentina were in Mendoza. At one point, we were going to hop Iguazu-Cordoba-Mendoza but realized that would be too many stops in too short a period of time. Also, the flights were crazy. So we had three full days on the ground in Mendoza. One of them was really great. Let's focus on that. The van picked us up at 9am. About an hour later we were at the basecamp of Potrerillos Exporer in the foothills of the Andes. Our first appointment was for an hour of horseback riding. We weren't sure how this was going to go. To our pleasant surprise, Cate wanted to ride a horse by herself
