OK Just a quickie! So last weekend took advantage of the wineries in Mendoza and went to visit some of them! Argentina is one of the worlds most important producers of wine and something like 90% of the wine produced comes from the region of Mendoza where I´m licing. We´ve over a thousand wineries here! So, took a bus and visited a family run winery and learnt about the process...a bit boring really, considering I was there for the tasting!! But the country si...

So, typical argentine cuisine I love... DULE DE LECHE! It´s like a sweet creamy spread, sort of like nutella style, but not chocolate. Tastes like toffee, and it´s served with deserts etc... it´s typically argentine. And try it as a liqueur! AW immense! http://www.clarin.com/diario/2005/04/18/conexiones/exporta_dulce.jpg MATE A typically Argentine drink, which is sooo different. t´s a hot drink, and everyone drinks it here. It´s like what tea is in the uk....

So what have I been up to...well all pretty much same same (i dont mean that to sound bad!)...the last weekend (5th/6th) took a long over due city tour...typical tourist!!! But it was good to get all the history and stuff...we also went to outside the city, to the over side of the park and up into some of the wooded hills overlooking the place, which gave some amazing views. We finished up at a HUGE church which can seet something like 100k people? I have picture...

So just a quick one explaing more about the set up here in Mendoza... So it´s a city, the capital of it´s province in Argentina (Think counties). A very clean and latino city...the streets are very well kept, and trees line every street. Like the rest of Argentina, it´s VERY European... you could easily mistake it for a town in Spain or Italy, the same goes for the Argentine peopple themselves. Technically it´s in a dessert but a complex irrigation keeps it ...

So I´ve been really bad about updating this! So...sorry, will try harder. I Spent a standard week last week, in sun, teaching, studying etc... all going well. It was very hot! The temperatures are now getting up into the 30´s daily as we come into our Summer (its technically still spring here!), ugh! Now, I realise why the Argentines go out so late at night, because of the heat. But, apart from that it´s all going well, loving the lifestyle. London and home s...
