The team is all here!

Tom Henson arrived this afternoon, minus one bag which will arrive tomorrow, so the gang is all here in Mendoza. We decided to kick off our spirit of camaraderie with a visit to one of my favorite restaurants of all time. We ate outside in the courtyard of the oldest wine maker in Mendoza. the food and service were 5 star and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.


It was tough to decide between the "Cast Iron box of Seafood" and the Tenderloin of beef. I highly recommend the "Chocolate Para Fanaticos" for dessert!!! I might not eat for the next week...

We are going to get our climbing permits tomorrow and head up the hill to the ski resort of Penitentes, located just up valley from the trail head we will hike out from on Monday.

Everyone is excited to get on the trail. Mendoza id a lot of fun and the tranquil lifestyle is very appealing, but we need to get in motion.
