Happy New Year from Mendoza, Argentina!

Since they are 5 hours ahead of us (Pacific Time), Scott & Aaron have already welcomed in the new year and have nodded off to sleep some time ago.  They are staying in a hostel in Mendoza, where they celebrated an Argentinian-style BBQ with their fellow travelers.

I'm happy to report that they made it safely to Argentina, as did all of their luggage, and they successfully  obtained their climbing permits, so they are ready to roll.  They also did all their shopping (food and fuel for the stoves) this afternoon.

Tomorrow morning at 11am, they leave for Los Penitentes as planned.  It will be a 3-4 hour journey and they will spend the night there on Saturday night.

Happy New Year!
