Hiking and Hot-tubing

written by Spencer Alexander on August 21, 2008 at 06:30AM in Traveling

A few roomates, Nicole and I went hot-tubbing and hiking in a small pueblo near Mendoza. It turned out to be quite the fun trip.

The name of the small town is Cacheuta, and it’s purpose (as far as I could tell) was to serve as a vacation spot to the city folk of Mendoza, and all of the other folk from other cities visiting Mendoza. Our group went the morning after the Mendoza marathon, and the hot-tub was filled to the brim with post-runners soaking their pain filled legs. Fortunatly, all of them were very, very nice to us foreigners, and we were able to have a few livid conversations; topics ranged from US politics to cool locations in Argentina/Chile. Oh, and just in case you were wondering, the other 6.3 billion people that fill this planet are rooting for Obama… so do the world a favor and bring the count up to 6,300,000,001 supporters.

After sitting around and enjoying life in the hot-tubs for a while, we moved onto hiking. We journeyed down into a valley carved out by a small creek, and took a 2 or 3 mile hike along the boulders that filled the valley.
