Some Random Pictures & Memories of Santiago

If you ask the kids what we ate and drank in Chile they will probably tell you that they drank a lot of juice and ate a lot of dessert. Carl has finally worn me down after years and I am learning to enjoy some wines.  A classic Chilean drink is the Pisco Sour, it's pretty good, but often too sweet. 

This was the pool at the Holiday Inn in the Santiago Airport.

As we were packing up to leave our AWESOME apartment in Lastarria (living room below), we watched a protest about education from our balcony. 

The kids are taking their parkour homework seriously ;)

Supposedly one of the world's best ice cream shops, we may agree!

View from the pool level of our first hotel, the Bellas Artes Aparts.

I thought it was really cool that there is a large course in Santiago where major streets are shut down every Sunday for people to come out and run and bike. There are attendants helping with road closures and even refueling stations. 

I thoroughly enjoyed the history included in our Tours for Tips Tour. This is the Palacio de la Moneda, where the presidential offices are. It was where the coup took place 9/11/73.
