After a nearly 20 hours bus ride (thankfully they played Sherlock Holmes, I could deely appreciate Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law's acting), I arrived in Mendoza right in the middle of the Holy Week, which means that all hostels were fully-booked or expensive. Oh well...
I checked out what was Easter like here and after a bus ride (I had the money but not the change and some young mendociños gave me coins, turning down any refund, that was so nice), I arrived by a massive queue of people wanting to touch the statue of the Virgin and Jesus. The statues didn't look extraordinary at all, but the queue size was!
On the way back, I could buy lots of souvenirs at the big crafts fair on Independance Square.
The day after, I visited the San Francisco Church and I was pissed off because they were openly campaigning for the right at the next presidential election, because of the abortion right.
Then I went on top of Glory Mount, a tribute to the independance, to its heroes, but also to Chile and Peru.
Just besides, there was a zoo with an impressive number of different species. This way, I could see lions...
...but also condors!
Poor guys, they looked so bored, and they didn't fly :(
