Alright, Mendoza, Argentina was nice and we got a lot of errands done (i.e. Laundry, which is hard when you have to wash everything you own so you don´t have anything to wear to the Laundry mat). Also, we took a nice tour through vineyards, churches and olive orchards in the area. We didn´t stay long here, since we had to once again get on a long bus. It was a nice stop non-the-less.
This is what happens to us after too many long buses--->.
We are now in the lakes district in Argentina. Bariloche to be exact. It is a good size town and it is absolutely beautiful. It is a big ski area in the winter and in the summer it is full of lake, river and mountain fun. And so much treking, I don´t know how you could see it all. The town feels like we are in Canada or Colorado. There is definately a stark difference between the poverty in Peru and Bolivia and what we have seen in Chile and Argentina so far. Jared and I came up with a great trip idea for any of you... Buy a cheap car in Bolivia and drive south through the lake district (both the Chile and Argentina sides). It is amazing, but it is hard to see it all from buses. There is so much to do and such amazing camping. With your own car you could do some great exploring. So some of you come and do that trip for us. 
Food update: Burrito Nirvana! We found it after a month and a half of searching in South America. It was amazing and it actually had black beans (not green beans) and mexican rice. And not even a speck of oregano. I was so happy that I forgot to take a picture of it to post.
We will definately be going back there (sorry Jared) before we leave this area.

Hey guys! Glad you left your blog on ours... we were excited to read through it all. So happy you finally found your burrito!! We're in Pucon right now, which seems to be the Chilean version of Bariloche. We decided not to be lazy today and rented bikes (you guys definitely inspired us) but of course 10km into the ride, Aaron fell and scraped up his palms (a lot). So it goes... we walked out bikes the rest of the way to amazing waterfalls.
Unfortunately it doesn't seem like we'll cross paths in America del Sur but please keep us in the loop with what's worth seeing and we'll do the same.
Can't wait to bump into to you in Thailand!! Be good and safe travels.
