Uspallata

I realized I forgot to post from my weekend two weeks ago. The pictures have been up on my Picasa account, but they are linked here for reference. These are from the border town of Uspallata and Aconcagua National Park. Aconcagua is the tallest mountain in the world, outside of the Himalayas. Mendoza therefore has hundreds of tourists who come to climb the mountain in the summertime (January-February)(Recall that seasons are reversed in the southern hemisphere due to the tilt of the earth). The day before we left we went to a museum in Mendoza about the founding of the city.
