Day 67 - Exploring Santiago
January 21 - Santiago, Chile
We had to move apartments, but we booked a place in the neighboring building, so nothing too drastic. I went back to the big hill (Cerro San Sebastian) for church, because I thought it would be cool looking out over the city. I huffed and puffed up rocking tennis shoes and my skirt, and quickly felt right at home when half the people at church were in running clothes.
Meanwhile, muscles Evan moved our stuff to the other room. We headed to a place for brunch that our friend recommended. Evan went back to the apartment to work on some things and Chelsea checked out the visual arts museum and the cultural center, named after Chile’s beloved poet and Nobel Prize winner, Gabriela Mistral.
What amazes me about Santiago is that you can literally buy anything, anywhere. On the street they sell everything from clothes to clothes hangers to electronics to toilet paper. In the subways, people whip open backpacks with cold beverages. At the toll booth, you are offered churros while you wait.
...and banana clips - thank goodness!
I picked up groceries and slow cooked a dinner while I worked out back at the apartment, then Evan watched the Vikes game, streaming on his phone. Rough game!
