Cerro San Cristobal

Today we trekked over to Cerro San Cristobal, the second highest park in Santiago. We thought it would be a half day adventure at most...We rode the funicular up, kind of scary!

YUP! I know the formatting of this post sucks, but I'm too tired to fight with Blogger. Just enjoy the pictures;)

Ella took some decent pictures of us:)

The view from the top was AMAZING!

Ryan's face about sums up his day. Did you know that we are horrible parents for taking him on international adventures and making him spend all of this time with us and his sister (the cause of all of the world's problems)!! Poor Ryan! Traveling can be hard on kids (and adults;)

Before we came here Ryan found this Virgin Mary statue on Google Earth, I thought that made it even more cool to see in person.

 

Since we rode up, we thought it would be fun to take the long route down, We didn't know it would take 2.5 hours!  We did find the coolest park though. We also somehow ended up in the middle of a closed construction area. 

This is the tallest building in South America. It was cool to see it change as we descended. By the time we found civilization again at the bottom, we had to hustle because we didn't want to be on the metro during rush hour. 

We were so excited to get back to our neighborhood (almost 8 hours after setting out)and find good dinner and wine!
