Bariloche Argentina

During mission transfers, Aaron and I took a bus over to Bariloche, Argentina for a couple of days. We had a great time exploring a small bit of Argentina.

We got tickets on a double decker bus. The ride out went smoothly. Going through customs was a very interesting experience; I'm glad we don't have to go through customs when we travel from state to state. They gave us each a ham and cheese sandwich for lunch. Then the bus host gave each person a Styrofoam cup for a drink. He came around with a 1.5 liter of Pepsi and gave us each a cup full. It was hilarious.

They say that you don't really know a place until you shop at their grocery stores. I believe that is true. Here's Aaron with our cart basket. We bought water and treats. Yummy! It is so much fun to try out treats in a new place.

Dinner. Don't you love the 1.5 liter of Pepsi, and the fact that we are drinking Pepsi in wine glasses.

The waves were really moving that night.

We loved this seat carved out of tree stump. We sat her and watched the waves on the lake.

We took a local bus up to Mt. Otto. It was a very full bus, and we loved it. It reminded me so much of riding buses in Costa Rica.

This bakery had the best treats. It was across the street from our hotel.

Some of the best steaks we have ever had.

Heading back to Chile. We had the front row seats on the way back to Chile; I got so car sick. I'm so glad that we went to Argentina. It was such a great adventure.
