It´s 3:40pm and I´m sitting at a computer at my hostel relaxing after a busy day. I arrived at the hostel around 6am after running into an issue with my transportation reservation. But fortunately I met two others from my program who were in the same boat so we stuck together.
I "slept" a couple hours before meeting my two new acquaintances downstairs for our first day of exploring. We walked to Plaza de Armas, Museo de Bellas Artes, Catedral de Santiago, and theSanta Lucia Park. There are stray dogs everywhere and for the people that I know who like to rescue dogs, this place is screaming for people like that. I read in a book that the parks are hot places for couples to go and today proved it. Since many singles live with their parents until they marry, they don´t have private places to go to be together.......so, they go to the park and tourists like us ignore anything we see. We climbed up the Santa Lucia park which held a beautiful view of the city from the very top. It was breathtaking and we took a momentico to enjoy.
For lunch I had a Carne and Avocado sandwich on wheat bread. Yummy! I´ve taken a couple pictures but will need to post later. Right now I´ve got to get back up to my room. Hope all is well and thanks for reading!
