I made it! Both of my flights left a little late, and little sleep was had, but I'm here, and getting ready to got explore a bit.

| What's wrong with this gate? |
Because we were about 20 minutes late, there was no gate for us, so we waited awhile outside of what
looked like a good gate...I suspect it was not in the international section, which is why there was a wait.

In my departamento (apartment), Lastarria Santiago Suites
|
This is an interesting place: a mixed-use building with condos, and a few units that are rented out as "suites." A little hard to find, with no front desk like a hotel, but with a doorman and housekeeping. I haven't paid yet-this is supposed to happen later today when Viviana stops by to collect. Great location, nice furnishings, and much cheaper than a hotel (80 a night) in the center of Santiago. I found it on Booking.com

ReplyDeleteWoo hoo is right! So far so good...waiting for Viviana to show, thought she was supposed to be here at 5...or was i 6? Oy, numbers in a different language get me all the time!
DeleteBeautiful, warm, verdant and welcoming ~ GREAT place !!
ReplyDeleteJim,
DeleteIt is pretty dry here-it pretty much only rains in June, July and August, so the green you see is the result of irrigation. A good thing about the lack of rain right now: no flying insects. So it is interesting to be at the end of summer with no gnats, flies or mosquitos!
Thanks for reading and commenting!
