Mendoza, Argentina
This Mendoza street performer sang with the voice of an angel.
Today’s ride was not pleasant. Screaming headwinds greeted an early start on our last desert crossing in Argentina. Aconcagua, the highest peak in the Americas, is visible to the west. From Mendoza we’ll head in that direction to cross the border into Chile, then head south along the Pacific coast. Climbing up the mountain pass may be easier than battling the headwinds. Luckily the winds calmed down midafternoon as we entered the premier wine-growing region of Argentina, otherwise we’d have arrived in this city in the dark.
The first UPS package car I've seen in South America is a Peugot.
