Day 1 - Santiago de Chile

View of the city


Here I am on top of the hill of Santa Lucia!

Santiago is a huge crowded city surrounded by the Andes mountains. About a third of Chile’s population lives here. Today, I met my friend Alice with whom I will be traveling for the next month throughout Chile, Argentina, and Bolivia. We walked around the city and had an amazing seafood meal in ‘el mercado’. The fish I had today was possibly the best I’ve ever had!
We’re going to try to watch a Polo game tomorrow then head to Valparaiso on Sunday.

Fun fact:
People here are very short- for the first time in my life I feel tall!

I'm still trying to figure out the formatting of this blog. I really need a Blogspot for dummies book!
