When i read about Mendoza in the book (Lonely Planet) it didn't seem like anything special to be honest vin yards blah blah blah..... We are not wine connoisseurs! we´ll drink almost anything that's in front of us! & NO!! i cant smell the cherries, vanilla and chocolate in the wine etc..
As Ive mentioned before, i feel the only way to know about what a city has to offer is by being amongst it....
As a GRINGO (Tourist, Foreigner) its hard enough.... but this small hostel ran by a Spanish bloke from Madrid, who happened to be a R.Madrid Fan. Made us feel so welcome, over and above any hostel we´ve been too to date.. It seemed that all his customers. were his pals, we happened to be 2 of only 3 English speaking people the rest spoke only Spanish. At first i was apprehensive as it frustrated me that i was unable to converse with them or fully understand what they were saying...... This bloke shared beers with us, introduced us to his friends, taught us local traditions & customs. During the nights we spent here, we truly felt amongst the locals.... Funny really what a few Cervezas (Beers) can do!
Also.....Jade managed to Stub her toe Twice in the Same place in the space of Two hours
