¡Hola! It is hard to believe that this is our last day. It seems like yesterday when we climbed on the plane all excited and were off. We are anxious to return home and tell all to our friends, however we are not enthused about the change in temperature from +28 degrees Celcius to -30 degrees Celcius. We will add some pictures to the website whe...

Must say, after boarding, it was the best flight ever!  After fending off the lovely but oh so boring Argentinian women who was beside me on the flight, we dropped a couple of sleeping tablets just as dinner came out and next thing you know we were decending  for our next layover... We made it to Santiago Chile...&n...

We had dinner with Ivan and Ninon in the plaza Bellavista...a lovely place with several dining spots and artisan booths.  We ate at a restaurante Arabe...our first dinner out in Chile, and Jeremy eats Thai chicken and I have Chicken Schwarma!  Ninon and Addy bonded instantly, aided by the fact that Ninon fed her ice cream and almost al...

I flew back to Buenos Aires for one night and then back to Santiago for one night (stayed at Andy & Tessa´s place and went for dinner with Jahir), and then off to Peru. I thought I´d take a moment to jot down some notes on interesting things in Argentina and Chile, while I have the chance.... Argentina - the Argentines are soooo friendl...

The temp is getting to 12-13 degrees during the day and 4-5 at night. and is only going to get colder for the rest of chile. getting pestered for money (cause i`m totally loaded here) and stared at like a gringo. staying away from certain foods to avoid the inevitable d...

Within the downtown is Cerro Santa Lucia , a park with excellent views from its top. It is a combination of arboretum and castle.   The Art Museum is the last museum on my list. Solid collection but not distinctive.   I go to the Mercado and even more local Vega. Very interesting with its huge variety of vendors but with only 2 days in...

Santiago - Final day in South America, just a little time to do some last minute shopping and to enjoy the plastic christmas tree in the central plaza.

Santiago..another big city. I dont mind it so far actually, has a nice vibe to it.There are actually some nice big parks and trees about, and then in the distance you look up and see the Andes...appparently the second largest mountain in South America. We are staying in a funky little area at this really nice hostel called Bellavista Hostel.whic...

a bit behind in the journal, but we´ve been busy getting asthma in santiago. not a whole lot going on here for tourists, but it seems like a nice place to live... the first day we got here we hit up a few museums since they´re free on sundays, the museum of contemporary art and the visual arts museum which seemed more or less a few rooms of cock...
