Bonnie and Clyde here!!! What we mean by that is we ran into a little trouble in Mendoza, Argentina! Let me start at the begining!
So we arrive in Mendoza and we go to the hotel, we have a little difficulty getting a room for two nights so we take the one night that they have. Later on they tell us that the two nights in the same room is fine! The next day we book a tour for 8.30 am for two wineries. As we are leaving the hotel the next day the hotel guy comes out and says that we have to switch rooms. We are a little upset because we are leaving right then to go on the tour. So we agree and start to walk back in and he says to get out. I try to talk to him but he keeps on saying to pack up our things and leave. So we did. With out paying him. Thats fair, he made us get out before the check out time. As we walk out he says he is going to call the cops. The cops HA! They dont give a crap about something this small. We walk to this nice hotel a block away and start to check in when the cops show up. Three of them with shotguns. We ask for help right away and this wonderful woman who speaks perfect english comes to our rescue! Pretty much we had to pay or we were going to jail. Ouch!!!!!! Cue Karalynns crying!!!!! So we pay and they all leave but holy........ close call! We went on our wine tour and it was pretty cool. There are 800 wineries surrounding Mendoza. We have a new found appreciation for a good wine now.
Country Number 7: Chile
So far so good. No jail yet. It is way more exspensive but the food is pretty good. There is ice cream everywhere. We have decided to take a break from all the running around and just spend the ast 6 days here in santiago. The hotel we are staying at is an apartment almost without a kitchen. But all in all it kinda feels like Buenas Aires. So we are just going around seeing the sites. Tommorow we are going to the zoo. Matt will finallybe able to see the condor. Something that he has been waiting for since peru.That should be fun. But this will probley be the last entry before matt goes home. In which i am not looking forward to. I will countinue to southern chile and then i dont know where i am going. I hope to not jump around as much though.
So i geuss thats it for now
Love you all

Hi Guys: Wow, cops and robbers in a south american country!!! Have a good last few days. I just arrived in New York area. I drove the new truck clear from Calgary to New York. 40 hrs of driving. I figure that I never see the country--always flying over it, so I wanted to see what I fly over all the time. Interesting indeed. Off to Daytonna for the weekend and then back to new york on sunday. Will spend a couple of days here then drive down to florida to meet mom and grandma taves for feb 1. We needed to have some wheels while down there. Love you--Dad.
