so i am finally back in chile and it feels like i am back in my home, which is kind of an odd feeling. we got stuck in mendosa between 12 hour bus rides because the road between chile and argentina was closed through the andes from the snow in the mountains. so we hung out in mendosa, known fo rits wine, but didn't do any wine tasting. we ended up staying at the hostel and sleeping a little, then going out and hanging out at this really cool buffet style restaurant, where we stuffed ourselves.then this morning we got back on the bus and got to sit at the base of the mountain, on teh bus, for a good 3 hours before proceeding to ride the bus 9 hours to get to santiago. i guess the government in argentina didnt want to let people through if the weather wasn't good, but it ended up being fine and sunny. the snow looked pretty through the bus window too. so i am staying at the hostel tonight with the 4 i've been traveling with and then i am going to be picked up by my new host family tomorrow night at gabe and jamal's house. i will try and post pics by the end of this week, but i don't know how my internet situation will be. i know i need to write a long blog, because they've been rather short lately, but all i want to do right now is take a shower and lay down in a real bed, even if it is a bunk bed at a hostel, becausen i've been on a bus for close to 3 days straight. ick. okay so i hope everyone is doing well and hold a good thought for me tomorrow that my new host fam is awesome. miss everyone and a long blog and pics will be up by the end of the week.
peace and chau
