We're staying in an apartment in downtown Santiago in a historic neighborhood called Lastarria. We like Santiago a lot, but this neighborhood has been our favorite. The next few pictures show some streets just beyond our apartment. This is our street. There are always antique vendors during the day.
This mural was dedicated to the poet Gabriela Mistral. It's right below the hill called Cerro Santa Lucía (more photos of the hill to come).
This is the national library, where I have been spending most of my work time, finding old texts about the scouting movement in Chile. Amorette and Simone go off on adventures while I geek out.
Bubby has learned some new tricks here. She can drink a juice box, say "hola" sometimes, oh yeah, and she just started to walk!!! It must be the yerba mate.
