Anna, Melanie and I have been leisurely exploring Santiago. Along the way, we've made a few friends, including some Brazilians and some Chileans. The other day, after hanging out with Anna's family friends at their workplace, they took us out. I must mention that their work is renting camper vans for the adventurous in Chile and Argentina. Therefore, it was only right that we pile in one of these camper vans to trek across the city.
After a night's rest, we met up and decided to take on Cerro San Cristobal. It is one of the many hills in the city, but this one is famous for the large statue of the Virgin Mary watching over the people of Santiago. There is a funicular, but we decided to walk up. After many "descansitos," or little breaks, we made it to the top.
On the way down, we stopped at a playground. It was magical, but also seemingly dangerous for young ones. None the less, we enjoyed ourselves as if we were little kids.
Now, off to plan our first trip outside of the city.
Contenta,
Lauren Adele
