Aneya & Lauren: Pictures!

The church on our street, at sunset

Lauren in front of a beautiful fountain in the Bella Vista neighborhood

This is a window from Pablo Neruda's house (one of three) The P is for Pablo, the M is for his mistress (and third wife) Matilda, who he was madly in love with. The P is a moon, the M is the mountains and the waves of the ocean are in the middle. Matila apparently had wild curly hair (sound familiar?) which he loved, and often wrote about.

From Neruda's house
Isn't it beautiful?
The Llama! Her name was Marietta and she was friendly, to say the least. She loved Lauren and gravitated towards her immediately!

Lauren: The llama started vigorously rubbing her head all over my body. It was so strange. And she'd get shy and hid her head behind her owner. She had a lot of personality. That's for sure.

This is one of the many beautiful parks in Santiago.



Lauren and Daniela at the antique fair in Barrio Lastarria.

One of the many German pub-type restaurants in the city.

Our first night in Santiago! Enjoying some empanadas and pisco sours with Valeria and Daniela.
First day at the hostel (We both look tired...)

Lauren: It was a long trip.
