Monica. Not only was it an all pedestrian shopping strip, but there were street musicians and people selling random things all over the place. We greatly enjoyed the craziness of it all.
The highlight of the day was definitely the empanada lady. Holy moly, these were the tastiest empanadas we had enjoyed yet in Chile. Mine was carne with potatoes, carrots, and a slightly spicy sauce. It was definitely delicious with a fresh avocado from the fruit and vegetable market near our hostal. I think the greatest thing about our hostal, Sunny Days, is the spectacular market nearby. They literally sell everything, including the greatest mangos of my life and car tires. Do not worry, I did not buy any tires on a whim!
As per usual the day progressed from a foggy morning to a warm and sunny afternoon, so we enjoyed the sunshine as we composed emails and read books. Strangely, most hostals have book collections that are mostly in German, so whenever there is a book in English it is cause for excitement!
Anywho, tomorrow we head off for Santiago!
I cannot wait to see the capital city!
