South America
We have returned from yet another wonderful trip. In Mendosa we tasted wines paired with the seven courses which comprised a lunch we shared with our new best friends Delores and Andreas. In the Andes we hiked far enough to glimpse Aconcagua, highest peak in the Americas. The lake crossing from Chile to Argentina provided spectacular scenery and a chance to experience a zip line through the rain forest canopy. Bariloche afforded more hiking and breathtaking views of many of the lakes. Rio was so much fun! Exceeding our expectations were the Cristo Redentor, the Copacabana, Ipenema and Barra beaches and the view from Sugarloaf.The highlight was the Sambaparade held in the huge Sambodrome with dozens of unbelievabley intricate floats and thousands of dancers in the most elaborate costumes.
