Mendoza Continued..

The next day in Mendoza we went to San Martin Park in the morning and walked around.  It was full of beautiful fountains, gardens, and lakes.  In the afternoon, we went wine tasting.  I was obviously very excited for this.  However, the tours turned out to be a little boring, plus it was extremely hot that day and that didn't help matters.  The actual wine tasting part was fun.  We tried Malbec, a traditional Argentinean red wine, it was very good.  I usually am more of a white wine person, but I could make an exception for Malbec.
 The day after that we went hiking and horseback riding in the mountains.  The hiking part I loved! The horseback riding was a different story.  You see I had a bad experience on a horse before when it started to actually gallop and I had no idea what I was doing and I was terrified.  So I wasn't very excited to begin with, and then I ended up on the horse with the shaky back legs who slipped half way up and down the mountains.  It wasn't fun.
