Bicycle Diary

Again I got the title by using Walter Salles movie because I decided to go to Cerro de la Gloria that is located at Plaza San Martin but when I got more information about where it's located I turned back to downtown in order to hire a bicycle... it's the price for not being well organized in advance :-(
For your information cerro means hill so bring lots of water .... that bird drinks :-) and don't forget the sunblock.

From there you got a good vision of Mendoza city

After you can cycle under the tree shadows and down ... a piece of cake :-)

And be rewarded with a rest at Plaza Independencia

Los hermanos y hermanas (The Brothers and sisters)

I accept Edgard's suggestion and I'll write something about argentines and start by a joke in Brazil in which they are known as 'Los Hermanos' that means 'The Brothers' in spanish and do you know why ? ... because friends we choose by ourselves :-)

But as a matter of fact behaviorhood varies depending on the region so I'll tell you my first impression about mendocinos and mendocinas as citizens from Mendoza are known.
At first they have a soft style of life due for example at lunch time between 1 and 4 p.m. some stores are closed due to siesta but the same doesn't happen in Buenos Aires.
They are very politized and love speaking then if you let they will not stop talking about any subject. So it's a good place to study spanish because you could have class on the streets :-)

But some behavior are common around the world. For instance I saw a policeman with high-speaker trying to educate pedestrians to follow the rules. It worked well for a while

Mendoza

With its tree-lined streets Mendoza is easy to walk miles away under shadows and if you have got tired just try some rest at Sarmiento pedestrian street by drinking some coffee and looking at well and, due to the warmth, not much dressed argentinas :-)


Also I beg your pardon for not finding information in english but it is better for you find it out by yourself so just join me :-) to look at the beginning or ending of Andes
from Terraza Mirador

Footing or burning fatness :-)

After gaining some calories I decided to burn some and made a footing on Calle Florida meanwhile I wait for the bus to my next destination :-)
I do not know if it is always busy or it is due to the coming Christmas time

San Telmo

Here I met a Arnaldo Antunes on the street just taking pictures like any tourist. It looked like strange or funny to meet a brazilian who I have never met before in my country :-)

Also in San Telmo is located Plaza Dorrego which hosts antiques market on sunday
