Mendoza... Kinda

So after three-ish days in Valpraiso my plan was to go to Mendoza in Argentina. I got up early and walked to the bus station.  When I got there I checked with the Andesmar ticket desk and they said something along the lines of "no sale" which I took to mean the bus hadn't left yet.  Afterwards I found out that no, that meant the bus was NOT coming, ever.  Apparently the pass through the Andes was in danger of a landslide so the pass was closed and the bus was canceled.

So at that point I was stuck in Valpo and had to make a new plan.
