Santiago

Santiago is a wonderful city! It´s very clean, the architecture is beautiful, there are parks at what feels like every corner and it´s very safe! It was Sunday yesterday for our walking tour so a lot of things were closed but at the same time, all the local markets came out and as I keep forgetting, Christmas is only a few days away so people were deffinitly buying! We walked for about 5 hours with our recommended walking tour in-hand. We walked by the President´s house, government buildings, courts, and tons of historical buildings. Although Chile has had several earthquakes over the years, Santiago was never that badly affected so many structures and buildings are still standing that are very old. Today we are headed out to catch our bus that leaves at 10:30am, we drive through the Andes to a city called Mendoza where we arrive at 5:30pm and then take another bus overnight to Buenos Aires where we will arrive at 8am and meet up with the last 2 of our group! We are very excited to do the bus trip, although it´s very long, we have met a few people that have done and it and really loved it. Plus, it´s hard to get sick of the beautiful mountains and Andes. See you all in BA!
