Santiago / Mendoza / Buenos Aires / trip wrap up

This post is long overdue as I have been home safely for almost a week. It's been good being home. After I left Valdivia, I went to Santiago for a few days for end of the program ceremonies and such. It was fun to see a lot of people I had met 6 months earlier and compare experiences. On Thanksgiving, the officials treated us to a really great dinner in Santiago which was really nice. After that, I took a beautiful bus ride over the Andes mountains to the town of Mendoza in the country Argentina. Mendoza is the main wine producing region of Argentina and the town itself is very nice. After a day there, I took another long bus to the capital of Argentina, Buenos Aires. I really loved Buenos Aires, it's a  big beautiful city, I much preferred it to Santiago. It reminded me of a great European city, or a more laid back New York City. Anyways, I enjoyed my time there. If I come back to South America I would like to explore more of Argentina, it is a great country. I was there for 4 days then I cam back home from Buenos Aires via Mexico City via Los Angeles via Santa Barbara. So that's that. Good 6 months
