We have a white house, they have The Pink House.
It is my last day in Argentina. Tonight I fly home, and back to regular life.

Cachi
August 18th
Day trip to elevated town of Cachi. One block wide, so basically just a nice shady plaza and a large old cemetery on the outskirts. Nice ride switch backing above one of the regions Calchaquíe valleys and through a high plateau.
Tomorrow one last overnight bus and a quick flight to Buenos Aires.

Northern Argentina
August 17th - 19th
One last town to see in the far north. Almost the same latitude as Chilean Atacama desert and not that far. I feel as though I have taken the long way around since I could have easily come here back in July. City of Salta, with many markets and one grand plaza.

Last day in Mendoza
August 16th
More pictures... Open gutters on every street. They make for potential hazards during the walk home after a night out.

Mendoza
August 12th - 16th
The many tree lined streets of Mendoza. Great small city, just east of the Andes.

Leaving Las Leñas
August 5th - 11th
Well this is certainly the best area in South America. Long steeps, best snow, endless backcountry opportunities. Fully isolated resort surrounded by the mountains. Still everything moves slow, long nights for everyone has the lifts open in stages throughout the morning. Truly on Argentinean time.

Vineyards
August 1st
Small batch wine maker CarinaE just outside of Mendoza, which is Argentina's wine capital. Mostly malbecs all fed off the snow melt from the Andes.

rain, rain, rain....
July 27-30th
Many diversions in Bariloche. You certainly do not find food or nightlife like this in Chile. Eat until 1am, then stay out until 5-7am every night.
