Santiago

So we did go to see the Giant Mary, but we didn't like her as much as The Jesus in Cusco. He was much cooler, with wild scary eyes, and had less people worshipping him. It was Labor day on Tuesday so Santiago was like a ghost town. There was hardly anyone around and most of the shops were closed. Unfortunately the art museum that we wanted to go to was closed too, so after we walked back from the Mary hill we went to the cinema (twice).

Chile was an okay place to visit. We liked the telescopes a lot, and it was quite nice to be in a more developed place, but in the North, there's not a huge amount to see. It's quite a scuzzy place in parts too, lots of graffitti and stray dogs everywhere.

We flew to Buenos Aires yesterday and will mostly be eating steak and drinking red wine for the rest of the trip.

Chile and Buenos Aires were kind of bonus places that we came to because thats the way the flight home goes, so we're not really doing that much that's exciting at the end of our trip. So appologies for the lack of blog and photos.

Going to see some Tango this evening!

One more blog, and then we'll be home!
