ARRIVAL AT MENDOZA. 



town^ thus completing our journey in sixteen 

 days. 



Jn the Appendix will be found a list of 

 the post-houses on the Pampas^ as regulated 

 by government_, which will show what distance 

 the traveller has to pay for; and also where 

 he is likely to get refreshment^ which is not 

 to be procured at all of them : therefore^ 

 if he should happen to stop for the night 

 where nothing is to be had, he would stand 

 a chance of going to bed rather hungry. As 

 I have been obliged to draw certain distinc- 

 tions between good, bad, tolerable, &c. my 

 readers must not think, when I use the term 

 excellent y that any thing is to be expected 

 beyond bread, meat, spirits, 8oc. ; it is only used 

 to express a certainty of getting these things. 

 Again, when I say very good, bread and meat 

 may be had, and nothing further ; for good, 

 bread only, with a chance of getting meat ; but 

 for bad, and very bad, it will certainly be a 

 chance if he get any thing at all.
