Our bus- two stories!
I don't think the sky was actually this blue, but it was pretty close.
Not the best picture, but the mountain in the distance is Mt. Aconcagua- the highest mountain in South America- and anywhere outside of Asia in general!
Welcome back to Chile! (not the actual border- the actual is in a tunnel!)
Check out the road! The Chile side is definitely much cooler
Coming from Argentina, it didn't seem like we went as far up, because the climb is more gradual... its just like, I got in the bus and it was 85 degrees outside, but 3 hours later there's is snow on the ground! It was a really cool ride... except the customs... because it was a holiday weekend (everyone had Thursday off), there were TONS of travellers. On the way back, we spent 4.5 hours at the Chilean checkpoint!! Making a total trip of 12 hours! Luckily, we had 2 movies (although I only watched one) and doubly luckily, they were in English with Spanish subtitles! lol. So even when it was hard to hear because of the bus, we could read it. The bus also had catering (although, that just means drinks and cookies). Yep, thats about it I think. Entry on Argentina in general below.

As usual it looks like you had an awesome trip. Great pix. Bring me home some of those steak dinners and a whole lot of the chocolate. Looks and sounds yummy. I hope you rode the top of the bus! I would want to be up there to see what it felt like to be so high up from the road. See ya soon and enjoy the rest of your time down south. Oh by the way, snow is in our forcast. Hurry home!!!!!!

WOW
The pix are great -- what a neat side-trip.
snow?! Its like 90 degrees here today! lol. I just had winter a few months ago... not ready for that quite yet.
And yep, I rode the top of the bus! I think the bottom is more like "first class" or something.
