Tuesday in Mendoza

A beautiful avenue of plane trees in Parque San Martin

The lake and rowing club in the park
No tours today. We took a taxi to Parque de San Martin, a large park commemorating the liberator of Argentina and Chile. It was sunny for once. We enjoyed strolling through the plane trees by the large lake, and seeing the rose garden.


After spending the morning there, we had lunch in the lounge of the Sheraton Hotel. After sorting out our cases, we went back in the evening for cocktails, and had dinner at an Italian restaurant recommended by Mike, our guide. Mendoza was a nice small town and we saw all the squares and main streets.
