Feb. 26 Back in communication

 We are finding wifi here everywhere, at various levels of efficiency. I have navigated the cellphone situation in Chile (buy SIM card or chip as they call it), go somewhere and put money on the phone, dial up phone supplier and select service. I have minimum data but it seems to be enough as long as I don’t put my cell on for long. Really need it for navigating on Google Maps. What did we do before?? Not actually making any calls...getting messages from the phone company that I don’t understand...pushing something..just like at home.
  Here in Mendoza I find a big cell company Movistar. Remove the Chile chip, go through the motions again and now have data for a week, that should do...
  We return to the pizza place, and hear English voices at the table beside us. When we finish eating, I lean over and ask if they have any suggestions. They are from Ft.McMurray on the 3-week Opimian Society tour of Argentina!! The only other people left at the resto age also on this tour. Staying at the ritzy Palace Hotel round the corner, a fav of Eva Peron apparently! They in fact do have some suggestions. But they are tired, 3 weeks not long enough to do all the stuff on the agenda. And drink all the wine.
