Mendoza is a lovely city, with a large plaza in the middle that is bustling with life from the early evening until about 1AM. There are 4 smaller plazas, arranged around the main one like the 5 on a die.
Becky's still fighting some bug, so she caught up on sleep while I tooled around the plazas, investing options for what to do while we're here. Dozens of tour agencies offer day trips and longer, this is also an adventure spot, with lots of young people wandering around with backpacks and middle-aged people in business suits discussing wine. (We're middle aged but still carry backpacks.)
As luck would have it, we arrived while the wine festival was going on, and I ran across the contestants for the "Miss Mendoza" or some such thing, all the beauty pageant contestants parading around the plaza and pedestrian zone. Lots of good photo ops. In the evening, I saw a play at at tiny theater, in part to see if my Spanish was sufficient to handle it. I got most of it, but didn't get most of the jokes. Still, I'm feeling pretty confident in my language ability
We also had fresh pure grape juice, which Becky likes quite a bit more than the wine.
