Catena at Bodega Catena Zapata in Mendoza



Catena's First Vacation

For Catena's first vacation, she went to Mendoza with Grandma, Mommy, Daddy, and Brother Merritt. Catena was one month old.
We saw the Puente del Inca.


These filled water bottles were left for travelers at a roadside shrine to Difunta Correa, a woman who followed her conscripted husband, providing much-needed food and drink to him. She is said to have been found by the roadside, dead of thirst, survived by her infant suckling at her breast.
