An Afternoon Tweener

Really quick. . .we´re safe in Mendoza. . .overnight bus had great seats but strange food. . .this city is even cheaper than Buenos Aires (cabs are down to $2, empanadas down to $.60, and you get about 3 oz. of liquor for $4). . .there is a playground in front of our hotel and we spun on the merry-go-round. . .Chris put powder on Ryan´s face--if you ask nicely maybe we´ll post the video. . . . .and, oh yes, my clothes were stolen by the landlady. It seems to be a theme of these vacations.
Right now we´re bout to head out for picadas (snacks and drinks) while we watch Formula One (I think) racing; all the computers´ batteries are charging so no pics until later today--i´m using the hotel lobby computer and i can´t find any of the keys. More details later. . .
