Summer in Santiago

Almost immediately after the trek to Machupicchu, we headed south to Santiago, Chile. It's officially summer here and the weather is fiiiiiiiiiine. Zac and I have spent most of the last two days wandering about the city and roughing out a plan for the latter half of our trip.

You can believe we didn't waste any time finding the local dark beer, either.


Santiago is a breath of fresh air- literally and figuratively. It's clean, for the most part, with wide sidewalks and drivers who stop for pedestrians. And you can't find the buses by their smoke.


Tonight, Zac and I took our (nightly) ice-cream cones to the park and caught the end of a concert along with the babies and the old ladies and five men inexplicably practicing karate in the back. Perfect summer evening.

      Hey Mr. Choo! I just googled your hosteria and it looks very cool. Desafortunadamente, we just bought tickets yesterday and booked up a little place in Curico, which is about 2 1/2 hours to the south (we'll probably pass right by Los Quenes). But keep sending your consejos our way, you world traveler you! Miss you bunches and bunches. Give everyone hugs and kisses from us!
