Villa Mansa

Villa Mansa

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Mansa.

I wish I could grow lavender this big.
We taught them to serve a pepper grinder to people from Estados Unidos.

We had laundry sent out a few times, but Lisa always likes to stay caught up with clean clothes.

Olive oil tasting

Olive oil tasting

While we were on our wine tasting tour, we asked if the trees we were seeing were olive trees.

They are, and the tour leader was excited about our interest. She set up an olive oil tasting before our cooking class.

It’s an established oil-making farm with a new shop in the city.

Olive oil tasting uses blue glasses, so the color of the oil doesn’t distract from the taste. We tasted three olives and a blend of the three. The company also makes red wine vineagar and balsamic. My favorite was the cabernet savignon vineagar.

I was locked out of my blog for a few frustrating days. It said it didn’t trust someone trying to log in from Argentina, so it wanted me to log in and approve the log in. But it wouldn’t let me log in to approve it… because I’m Argentina.

When I get caught up in blogging, I’ll try to post the days in the chronological order. So new ones might show up in previous areas. Sorry, Mom and Jane!

Wine tasting tour

We visited two wineries a few miles from our hotel.

The conversation, lunch, and wines were outstanding.

We also discovered Mendoza olive oil!

This is Durigutti winery.
Ushuaia

Ushuaia

We rented a car in Ushuaia to go in and out of the city twice. One of the rules on the rental car agreement was “cars going downhill or uphill always have the right of way for cars on the horizontal.”

That was very confusing to me, but it was always observed on the steep mountain streets.

There were also spanish signs that i think meant “yield,” and round abouts and stop lights that may or may not have overruled that downhill/uphill rule.

It was all very confusing.

We filled up the car with”naftha super,” which Lisa found for us.

Everything is stressful in a rental car!

And no one showed up for our early drop off, and I thought we might miss our plane!
