First Weekend in Santiago.

My street corner. I am at Purisima 93.

At La Vega Central, a huge farmers market with the freshest fruits and vegetables in town. There are also local eateries here. That is a Peruvian woman serving some Peruvian spices and marinade. Peruvian food is big in Chile.

I'm with Ben who is also in the TeachingProgram with me and Alejandra who lives and looks after us at the Hostel.


Heading over to a Peruvian Restaurant where we got some delicious ceviche.

Cooking dinner with the hostal-mates Brooke, Ben, and Melissa



Ben & Lee showing their disgust for Chilean pudding.



Two panoramic shots of Patio Bellavista, a square with cute little shops, art galleries, and restaurants.

Lee and Wes jam to some Tom Petty tunes. Click on this link to see a clip from the evening.


And yet another awesome dinner.

I'm still trying to get acquainted with the area, and because of the high robbery rate here in Santiago, I'm still not comfortable taking my camera out all the time to take pictures of the city. So far, I am enjoying myself in Santiago and the people I'm with.

Ciao!
