Day one and two in Chile: We arrived in Santiago, Chile around 7:00 AM. From the air, we could see the sunrise over the Andes Mountains and Santiago squished in the strip of land between the Andes and the Pacific Ocean. It is a beautiful summer day here. We have checked into our hotel, a Marriott in downtown, and taken a nap. We are ready to explore and eat lunch. We have already met our guide, Nadia, and some of our group. There are only 16 in this group - a very nice size.
Our plane trip was 'uneventful'--the best kind. I promise to not complain about security searches or sleeping sitting upright. Just wanted to let you know that we arrived and so did our luggage.
Later--we met our group at 3 PM. After orientation, we took a panoramic city tour. Santiago is a clean city of six million people which is about a third of the population of the country. At 7:30 we met for dinner. Dinner is usually served at 9:30 or 10 so they made an exception for us. Beef was served. Bedtime came early.
