I arrived in Mendoza early on saturday morning. We checked into the hostel international and then went to Parque General San Martin which is a massive park in the city. It was a beautiful sunny day so we brought some food from the supermarket and had a picnic.

She was revolutionary character abit like Diana and was highly respected by th...
