... because it is so popular here, but hey, you're not going to like everything.<br><br> Today we started early with breakfast, had a short orientation meeting, then went out to La Moneda, essentially the president's abode. A short old Chilean man form Santiago took us on a tour and explained the various rooms. His passion for the history of his people, and what has happened here was nothing less than beautiful. His pride for being a citizen of the country that was once led by ...

... very much so) not finish my major in time if I took a semester of classes not taught in Spanish.<br><br> I stressed out about the situation for days while I considered the value of situational learning versus, paid for, credit earning, grad school recognized learning. My obnoxiously nosey conscience told me Cuzco would be detrimental to my moral health, since I would feel constantly guilty about ignoring my major so rudely ...

... great use of the Santiago tube over our 3 days in the city, though found it far too crammed, making London tube in rush hour look quiet! For tourists, Santiago didn't have an awful lot to offer for the capital city in South Americas Most developed country. In an effort to find tourist attractions we ventured to a Catholic cemetary in the suburbs that we had read about. It did in fact turn out to be a pretty normal cemetary, just with family ...

... of the same family that started it. We had a couple of tastes (four or five well-filled glasses) and then went with Matias (Caro's dad´s friend) around the countryside through the vines themselves. It was soo cool to see on one side the mountain, on the other the city and running through the middle the thousands of plants. He explained to us the different types of wine and we even got to try some wine making grapes! Next stop, Lakes crossing and finally... Argentina!

The adventure did not stop there, as we were fitted for leg protecters and mounted on beautiful horses we realised we were ...

... neighborhoods, we had pretty much decided that Providencia is where we wanted to live... we spent quite a bit of time figuring out which bus lines reached Michael's colegio in Vitacura out east, and which metro lines reached my instituto in La Florida down south. We tried each route and checked out the schools... which were both great... We headed to the mall ...

... tait et il fallait que j'achète à l'avance mon billet d'avion entre Puero Montt et Punta Arenas (autrement c'est 36h de bus en passant par l'Argentine et Bariloche). Donc voilà mes quelques photos de Santiago. Après ça, bus en direction de Puerto Montt, puis correspondance pour l'île de Chiloé. ---------- In my previous post about Santiago, I was telling you that it was almost Europe but didn't explain why. First, I was coming ...

Aangekomen in Santiago, een heel goede vluecht gehad met LAN Chile, veel betere service dan American Airlines, een scherm aan elke zetel, we hebben Pablo en Ine niet veel horen zeuren want ze speelden op de spelcomputer, cool. Het was juist een hele warme dag dus het verschil was heel groot, een kleine 35 graden¡ We blijven nu een aantal dagen bij Juani en haar twee dochters Fran en Natti. In de nammidag bezoek aan San Cristobal, prachtig uitzicht over Santiago.
