Took aout my Blackberry then put it away then took it out again...

Indecision...it is 743AM and we are sitting, reclining, fetal positioned, legs crossed, sideways, perched knees up, legs into isle, head and neck keeled over-you name it we've been in the position- on the bus making our way up to Mendoza...I turned on the phone (Blackberry) to see if there was any service and low and behold there was , three cool messages from Margie, Alvaro, and Guillermo...thank you guys...my first reaction was to put it away after reading the message because I wanted to keep watching the morning sunrise from these seats... See we have finally managed to get the front two seats of a long haul (15+ hrs) bus trip. See the buses down here in South America are really very cool because many times they are double decker, meaning that there are two levels, so if your lucky enough to get the top front two seats you can pretty much get 180 degree views of the entire trip, if you prefer the bottom level then you can almost fully extend the seat to a sleeping position (imagine a Virgin Atlantic 1st class seat...that's how cool) We chose the top so we're basically sitting about eight feet above the road with an unobstructed view of the winding two lane road, farm fresh carrying trucks that zoom by, trees and shrubs that dance in the wind, and the majestic sky that never ceases to amaze...

Don't have much else to say, except that we should be in Mendoza, wine country, later this morning...oh yeah besides watching three movies on the bus last night, we played 1 game of bingo with the whole bus, believe it or not I won the grand prize!!! A bottle of Romeral Malbec wine, unfortunately we weren't allowed to open it, so need to wait till later...

See ya...
