Title: Hello from Santiago, Chile
Post by: rogwar on March 20, 2011, 08:34:41 AM
Just arrived the apartment hotel a little bit ago after an all night flight. Wow there was a lot of security around the airport and on the main road into the city. I had never seen anything like it before in Chile. There were also tons of police or caribineros as they are called here all preparing for a state visit.

Going to get some sleep and then head to a place called mercado central later for some delicious seafood. And hopefully start with a glass of what could be called "seafood juice". Will try to get some pics.

Riding on the Metro. A great way to get around Santiago on the weekend. Quite busy during rush hour. Great deal at 75 cents.

Seafood juice or Jugo de Mariscos. It had a mix of everything from some fish, crab, shrimp ground up to sea urchin roe.

The following pics are from the Mercado Central. My favorite place in Santiago. It's a giant seafood market and lots of restaurants with the best one being Donde Augusto.
