We both slept well last night!
Today they have arranged for an English
guided tour of Santiago.
We first went
to a lookout area on a mountainside where we could see a lot of the city of Santiago
in the valley below.
To get there we
drove by many up-upscale home!!
The next
four hours we spent driving to sights around the city, from “uptown” to “downtown”,
the government building, the National Cathedral, important plazas, sculptures
of important people, learning about Chilean history along the way, ending at
the old fish market.
There we went
to a lovely restaurant for our midday meal. We tried foods that we had seen and
did not sample yesterday.

We had a great day, with our co-host and her
daughter.
The daughter also speaks great
English, interpreting for her Mom.
Our tour guide had lived in Miami when she was
in Jr Hi & High school. She is an asset to the Tourist industry here in
Chile.
We returned to the apartment about 4:00 and took
a short nap, as we do not know what the rest of the day holds!
