Over the last weekend we went to Argentina and even though it was a short trip, we loved it. The drive from Chile to Argentina is worth the trip by itself. You have to drive through a mountain pass in the Andes to get across the border and the view is spectacular. There are two levels to the bus and Ashley and I got to sit at the front of the top level with huge windows in front of us. It was like having a private screening of the Andes Mountains. The whole ride we were just in awe of the beauty of God's creation. I can barely describe the snow-capped mountains surrounding us or the beautiful river that snaked along next to the highway that we took. Also, there is one road up the mountain where you do about twenty turnbacks in a row. It was pretty fun except there were no guardrails and a few times we thought the bus was going to drive off the mountain. Once we got to Mendoza, the first thing we did was eat steak and it is true when they say that Argentina has the best steak. Also, we did something really fun. We went paragliding. We decided we might not have the opportunity to paraglide in the Andes Mountains again so we had to do it. It was amazing. We basically ran off the side of a mountain and the wind just took us up in the air. It was an incredible experience. We had to leave the next day, but I feel like we did as much as we could do in what little time we had. If you want to see some of the pictures, here is a link to the photo album on facebook.
