Aconcagua Expedition Dispatch
February 9, 2015 – Goodbye Lunch in Mendoza
Goodbye Lunch in Mendoza
Well, we are official the Clean Dozen. After a relaxing night at the Hyatt in Mendoza and plenty of showers we woke up clean and refreshed.
It was a beautiful summer day in Mendoza, perfect for our goodbye lunch together.
Leslie was able to switch his flights so that he could leave Mendoza this morning and return to home to his family. He said goodbye to his teammates and departed to the airport.
The rest of us, minus Pedro and Elisa who did some exploring of their own, went into the town to enjoy one final meal together. It was a great afternoon of delicious food, beautiful weather and wonderful company. It was the perfect way to end a truly amazing expedition here in Argentina.
