Stuffing myself in Mendoza

For all of those U.S. travelers out there, most of us have resigned ourselves to the horrible exchange rate. Ah yes, the weak dollar ... fun times.

Argentina is one of the few coutnries where a steak is actually affordable for us and I plan on eating my way through the country based almost entirely on the good exchange rate.

We met three great people traveling from Ireland and England and ended up eating at El Parenque in Mendoza. We all had empanadas, one salad, five steaks, three bottles of wine and five bottles of water. Grand total?

12 whole US dollars a person.

I was in Italy two weeks ago where a very small capuccino was over three dollars...in short i'm jealous of your steak dinner. ENJOY ; )
