Uspallata [Argentina]

Now, it's been a week of moving quickly through the low desert to reach Mendoza for my one-year anniversary (and birthday).  It's been warm and amazing!  There are bugs (it's been too cold for bugs for the last several months) and oxygen and trees, all a very welcome change!  The desert air is warm, and for the first time in several months, I can sleep without wearing all my clothes.  I tell ya, it's the simple things that make life soooo good!

I rolled into Uspallata at about 9 pm on the evening of my birthday, hoping to make a few posts on the incredibly-difficult-to-find internet of Argentina.  Alas, is wasn't to happen.  Truthfully, I was just ecstatic to find somewhere to eat... an all-in-one convenience store/pizza shop that also sold ice cream!!!  I managed to get in just before they were to close, ordering two pizzas and two double-scoop ice creams.  I'm sure it was my appearance that gave the store owners enough pity to stay open a little while longer.
