Sorry for the delay! Here's a sampling:
Santiago Sculpture Garden
Los carabineros (police) at the changing of the guard ceremony - every other day at 10 am
One of many beautiful murals in the city, this one outside Pablo Neruda's house
Me outside Palacio de La Moneda, former mint and now seat of the President
The view outside my window - an apartment building 10 floors up
You are having WAY tooo much fun......
ReplyDeleteI don't think you will EVER catch me drinking that tornado drink..... pineapple ice cream sounds good, but with BEER??????
Clearly you're interested in the special libations of Chile: so far, chirimoya tragos y terremotos. Given your affection for "Guys and Dolls", you also might want to see if Chileaños also serve what Sky would have ordered for Sarah if the book ahd been realistic. Don't ask for a dulce de leche (as Sky did) -- I believe that's a candy. A more typical Cuban cocktail of the 50s would be a doncellita, cold creme de cacao topped with heavy cream and a cocktail cherry. (This information comes from the Wall Street Journal's Saturday cocktial column and was inspired by the recent revival of G&D on Broadway. (The reviews have been poor.)
