RTW: Exchange in Chile

Happy days

Finally, Johanna arrived to Chile. Four months can seem like a lifetime, but good things are worth waiting. I decided to forget my student status for a while and celebrate a few days as if I had the lifestyle I hopefully will some day. Those good (and warm, a novelty in Chile) hotel nights and dinners at restaurants left a bit different picture of Chile in my mind after all.

Getting good at it, I took Johanna for what is referred to "the Stenbäck tour" of Santiago and its surroundings. Here are some shots from it, trying to avoid repeating myself:











Sunset in the smoggy Santiago at night, some student protest messages (I bet all you KY guys get a kick out of this) in a local school, then a good-bye -shot from Cerro Santa Lucia (in the dead centre of Santiago, and no, we did not agree to wear the same color shirts..), some pelicans on our suite balcony in Viña del Mar and finally, the "devil" that is said to haunt the wine cellars of Casillero del Diablo (look closely, on the back). BTW, a major Thank You to Sami who finally made me see the light on using Flickr to put the photos here (hence the different look). You can click the photos to see them (and others) in my Flickr site better.
