We love Santiago. It`s a beautiful city, with vibrant neighborhoods, lovely parks, great food and friendly people. Here are some highlights of our days here.
Hank couldn`t resist the weirdest looking seafood that the fish sellers in the Central Market had to offer. After asking several times what it was, they offered him a taste.....and he took their bait, much to their amusement. This same seafood was later in a Chilean chowder we had. When we asked them what it was, they gave us a piece of paper listing it as "the red thing," otherwise known as piure.
We caught the exhibit of the terra cotta soldiers at the Cultural Museum, a fabulous museum by La Moneda, the Presidential residence and center of government.
Street performers are everywhere, even at street corners in front of traffic when the light turns red.
One of Pablo Neruda´s three houses - this one in the Bellavista section of Santiago - highlighted his collections of items picked up during his travels around the world........many while in exile.
