Chile at last!!

I left my home in Forestville on Tuesday, January 5,  2016 and arrived in Santago at around 5:30 pm on the 6th.  Quite a switch.....from Xmas

And rain, to.....

Rob picked me up in Santiago and we drove 1 1/2 hours south to La Casita where he has been living.

I settled in and reorganized by stuff getting out all the things I had brought down here for Rob

And we talked and talked, catching up on our lives since we'd last seen each other 7 or 8 years ago.

Thursday we headed up to San Antonio to see the harbor, a mall (Chilean style), and to hunt for wi-fi.  No luck on the wi-fi so who knows when I will be able to publish my blog.  And I can access by gmail acct on Rob's computer, but no luck with my comcast acct. which is my business acct and the way I do my banking etc.

The mall....3 stories full of fast food and stores ... No wi-fi here

And down along the waterfront for lunch

Congrio Colorado Margarita (Congrio is a eel-like white fish and Margarita is a white sauce with shrimp, clams, and mussels)

Sea lions and Pelicans waiting for their suppers from the fish market.

After leaving San Antonio, we drove down to Santa Domingo and along the beach.  It reminded me of Santa Cruz.  Back home to the La Casita and my bed.
