argentina: day two

Photo from here.
Most of the second day in Argentina was spent travelling. We had planned on spending a few days in the Bariloche area, but due to a volcanic eruption in Chile back in June, the local airport was closed. Undeterred, we flew to the next closest airport in Neuquén then drove five hours to San Carlos de Bariloche. Apparently there were a lot of dinosaur remains found in the area, hence our roadside friend, above. Other than that, the drive was fairly uninteresting with the exception of some surprisingly tasty caprese flavored chips we bought along the way. We arrived at our hotel mid-afternoon to this view:

Not too shabby, eh?!
