Santiago, Chile





Ideal place to take a bath!














































One of the things that I have recently really enjoyed is finding really odd things along my journey. As you can see I found a guy taking a bath in the Central Park of downtown Santiago. Another odd thing is when cabs line up at the bus terminal to save gas they push them through the line instead of driving them!.......Seems like a good idea if you need a little exercise along with your job? The picture of the capitol building is the rebuilt building of the one that got destroyed in 1973 when the general took over the country and held power for 16 years following. I also saw a guy who converted his bike to a man powered grinder and he was sharpening peoples knives for them as they passed by. I found that Santiago was easy to get around with a very extensive subway system to get anywhere in town. It is as modern as any city in the United States and a really cool place to visit!
