Santiago Metro Stations

My best bear bud Nicholas hates metros in Santiago.

This one time, it was so crowded, he got pushed all the way to the back of the train and when it came time for his stop, he couldn’t get out.

That might have been the last time he took the metro for months.

I decided I had to see what the metro was like so before we left Chile Nicholas took me on one.

Just as I was starting to think that the metro was actually pretty quiet, a train full of singing and dancing freshly drunk football watching Chileans showed up.

So I can say I got a Santiago metro experience after all.

Santiago Sightseeing

Today we went sight-seeing in Santiago.  It’s not like we had a lot of time left so I thought we should get to it.

We went to Parque por la Paz.  It’s is a memorial for all the victims that were tortured during the Pinochet era.    This trip took about 3 hours because Nicholas wanted to walk.

Here it is.

Oh and here’s an asian restaurant!

And a dog.

And now I can say I’ve done some Santiago touristing.

 

Checking out San Cristobal

We live across from this hill with a white statue on it.  I see it every day.  One day, I decided Nicholas should carry me up that hill.  He wanted to put me in a bag.  I wanted him to hand carry me.  We found a compromise.

Up San Cristobal

And with that, I guess I can say I’ve now done the Santiago tourist thing.  That’s the Virgen, aka the-white-statue-I-see-on-the-hill-across-from-my-house.

That’s right.  This bear se habla español now.

What choice do I have?  We’re here for six months.  Or longer.  I have a feeling I’m here for a while.

They better make chocolate better than they make coffee.
