Bariloche, Argentina
The view from my hostal balcony
Sunset
Filled with log buildings, chocolate shops, and stunning views of snow capped mountains, Bariloche is what I have always envisioned Switzerland would look like!
Mmmm. I bought some chocolate here. 
Argentina is all about the wine . My second night at the hostal they had a Wine-Tasting Party where everyone brought a different bottle of wine and we sampled them all! MY favorite? The Malbec.
The next day a friend from Holland and I rented bikes and did the 30k circuit around the lakes (that sadly all used to be glaciers).
We went through a very SMALL town called Colonia Suiza (Swiss Colony). Hmmmm, so there is some Swiss influence in Bariloche. I knew it!!
OK. The telephone booth was even made out of logs. Cou ld this place get any cuter?
Best ice cream I have EVER had.
We got lost a few times. This was not the right trail and we had to walk our bikes a little. But who could complain with views like this?
Also while we were lost, we found a bridge across one of the lakes!
The most famous and EXPENSIVE hotel in all of Argentina. $450 per night. Yeah.....just passing through.

Muchas gracias Senora
You have helped us to make a virtual world adventure of the U.N.'s "south", the developing tropical zone world. How will you ever answer the question: What was your best experience? How many world travelers like yourself did you meet? Will you be visitng them next year - after you graduate from the poorhouse?
Continue to have fun - and be safe!
