The main food groups while in Mendoza for us have been chocolate, carne, wine, fernet, more carne(beef), and more chocolate. Today we were going to go to the termas by Mendoza but we decided not to since Rossy can't actually go in the termas because of a health condition. So instead we slept in a little and then went searching for a belleza (beauty shop) to get mani/pedicures. Unfortunately since it was Sunday pretty much everything was closed until at least 1pm but most of the shops were closed all day. After waiting for a long time for the mamas (yet another miscommunication) we took off for the supermercado so we could pick up wine for the evening. When we got to the grocery store we decided we would pick up food for a picnic in a park. We also picked up chocolate (cheaper than La Cabana and better I think!) We then went and sat on the grass in the sun and shared a roasted chicken and three different types of potatoes, and did I mention a bottle of wine? We spoke with a wonderful couple at the supermercado and they helped us choose a wonderful Hereford Savignon Blanc and a Rosado de Syrah, Vendimia. We sat and enjoyed our picnic while a drunk crazy guy kept talking to himself about us. After lunch we all fell asleep on the grass like true Mendocians with the sun shining on us and occasionally a whiff of pot smoke. We then went to an outdoor restaurant with the mamas where we continually got honked at and even sprayed with water guns. Afterwards we were hoping to go to an outdoor theatre presentation but couldn't find it so we went to the mall to go see "Las Vuidas de Jueves" an Argentinian film which was interesting. All in all an amazing trip!
