    These are the empanadas we made at dinner. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[726]
         		 Hands down the most unique winery we visited. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[304]
         		 On our way back from a long ride for asado or BBQ. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[479]
         		 We went to dinner with strangers in Buenos Aires last night. We made our own empanadas and ate some terrific food. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[890]
         		 One of the biggest barrels in Mendoza and that's saying a lot considering there are over 1,000 wineries there. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[283]
     
    More horseback riding in Medoza. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[291]
         		 Before we left for more wine tasting we stopped off at the towns oldest church to give thanks to the virgin Mary for taking such good care of the grapes. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[349]
         		 We traveled from Chile to Argentina through the Andes. The mountains were unlike anything we have ever seen. Very rugged and sharp with little vegetation. This stretch of road behind us is called 30 Curvas. It speaks for itself. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[684]
         		 The lunch included bread, starter, entree, then dessert followed by espresso. So much food I didn't need to eat till the next day. Chile is famous for their fish so shrimp for starters then salmon cooked over a open fire. I call this the South American Jagger Bomb. Alcohol followed by a shot of caffeine. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[584]
         		 Viu Manent cellar room. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[662]
     
    These concrete eggs are new technology for the winery and produces some of their premium wines. Instead of a cylindrical vat that collects all of the skins of the wine towards the top to be skimmed off, the egg allows the skins to move around adding more flavor to the wine. They have only been in use for a few years.: by danidawnandstevo, Views[665]
         		 A horse and carriage took us through the vineyard then to the cellars at Viu Manent. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[377]
         		 Laguna del Inca was located at the very top of 30 Curvas along with ski resort Portillo famous for holding it's first downhill international ski competition in 1966. Lots of ski memorabilia in the lodge including photos of the US and Canadian ski teams from back in the day. One of the chair lifts actually went overt-top of 30 Curvas!: by danidawnandstevo, Views[571]
         		 Starving we ventured out to get some food and settled on a place called Top Dog. To reduce the amount of confusion ordering we both got the same sandwich which we knew contained beef and a few other things we didn't really know. When it came out there was gobs of mayo dripping from it with green string beans mixed in with the meat. Not the most appetizing sandwich. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[746]
         		 We toured a museum in Santa Cruz. It was located in our hotel and was included in our wine excursion package. The museum took you through the early prehistoric days of dinosaurs, early man in South America, the Spaniards conquering them and the liberators who took their country back from them. It ended with an exhibit of the 33 miners who were trapped and eventually saved after two months. Pictured is the capsule that brought each miner out of the shaft one by one. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[567]
     
    This was taken at Casa Silva winery. Family owned and very aristocratic. Photos of the family everywhere including the Queen of England, the championship polo team and of course their automobile collection. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[541]
         		 We had lunch at the Casa Silva winery overlooking the polo field. The only thing that could of been better is if they were playing. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[556]
         		 Not a photo if I do say so myself. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[485]
         		 We were told sunrise couldn't be missed on the other side of the island so we used the car to wake up early and drive to the other side and check it out. Of the millions of rocks around the area and hundreds of people standing on them to either get a better picture or keep their feet dry, i was ordered by a Park Ranger to step off of mine.Not sure why I was the chosen one but Danielle told me to give it a rest and stop complaining about it. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[558]
         		 More sunrise at the Moai.: by danidawnandstevo, Views[474]
     
    The view was spectacular and the beach wasn't bad either. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[466]
         		 More spectacular views! The sun was so intense we could only stand being out in it for an hour before we headed for shade - and mojitos. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[494]
         		 This is one of two beaches on the island. it's on the other side of the island so we elected to rent a car and there instead of ride bike. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[389]
         		 Final night of the festival where thousands attended to watch the new King and Queen be crowned. What a show the put on complete with live music and fireworks! The poor guy who lost his bid to be King gave a speech that lasted 20 minutes apologizing to every friend and family member he knew for not winning. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[551]

    And even more parade fun. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[320]
         		 More parade. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[273]
         		 We rode 60 km this day to various sites around the island. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[304]
         		 A festival was going on all week that included a parade. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[330]
         		 More parade fun.: by danidawnandstevo, Views[291]
     
    This crater was the birthplace of the Moai. The were literally cut out of the mountain side from this location and transported to remote locations around the island. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[330]
         		 Probably the most spectacular site on the island. Fifteen Moai that were knocked over in the 17th century by fighting tribes then scattered around the area in 1960 by a Tsunami caused by an earthquake. Chilie and Japan collaborated in 1992 to erect the Moai and we were sure glad they did. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[351]
         		 Fallen Moai pushed over in the 17th century by fighting tribes. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[321]
         		 So many horses on the island roaming free. We still are not really sure why there are so many. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[300]
         		 Great views!: by danidawnandstevo, Views[283]
     
    The trail took us to some difficult to find caves. A hole in the ground we squeezed into and made our way to what they call
         		 These Moai were on the South side of the Island. We walked a pretty long trail that took us to this site. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[267]
         		 One of many Moai on Easter Island. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[323]
         		 And away they go! We heard about horror stories of riders losing limbs doing this. It's easy to see how that could happen. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[487]
         		 This is the site of the Banana Tree Races. We had heard about them but were not sure exactly what day or time they would be on. After leaving Galapagos we traveled for 26 hours by boat, cars and planes to arrive on Easter Island one hour before they started. Our host Maria drove us to this location with 5 minutes to spare. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[442]
     
    Preparing for take off! As you can see they are quite high up and pick up some serious speed. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[383]
         		 Carrying the Banana Tree into position.: by danidawnandstevo, Views[379]
         		 Mounting the two trees lashed together with rope. At this point there seemed to be a lot of praying going on. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[385]
