Santiago

Santiago, Chile’s capital and largest city, sits in a valley surrounded by the snow-capped Andes and the Chilean Coast Range. Plaza de Armas, the grand heart of the city’s old colonial core, is home to 2 neoclassical landmarks: the 1808 Palacio de la Real Audiencia, housing the National HistoryMuseum, and the 18th-century Metropolitan Cathedral. La Chascona is the home-turned-museum of poet Pablo Neruda

Arrived Friday staying with Rosa in apartment near Spanish school. Today I am walking to the museum of fine arts about a 30 minute walk from apartment. It is Sunday and lots of activity in the park it seems Chilean's like to exercise saw two groups doing disco and the road is closed for runners cyclists and rollerbladers must be a marathon. Lots obikes used by people during the day.
