The advice from Santiago-citizen Jorge in Calgary to stay in this neighborhood has been very valuable. Any direction we walk is good and absolutely no safety issues.
Sunday is a good day to explore. They have closed off several roads just for bikes today. Families are all out cycling around and enjoying their time together. Our friendly hotel hostess Victoria has told us about a good Peruvian resto near here so we stroll to it and enjoy lunch in the garden by the waterfall (and a kids play area but that doesn’t bother us). It’s seafood ceviche, excellent and with salad quite enough for both. Finally we order pisco sours, mine a long drink with passion fruit, both good.
But Ted has got his eye on the local empanada baker down the road, so we stop off and buy ham/cheese handy snacks one to eat, one to take) along with questionable pastries and melon/pineapple liquado (iced fruit frappe), stopping on the way home at a little par and to check out the hotel Jorge thought we should stay at. A tiny pool but too far from the metro station really.
I am learning to buy yogurt, fruit and water at the local supermarket so I don’t need to find a restaurant in the evening again and that is working well. In this heat, we are just not that interested in any amount of food.
We also have a nice covered garden area here to sit and read.
