Mid- Summer In Santiago, Chile

It was a long flight to Santiago, Chile last night due to a stop in Lima, but god what a great city to return to. It is a hot 80 degrees even though the Andes peaks are showing snow. The people are strolling and enjoying their summer, tonight dinner at an outdoor place located in the El Golf area. I hit the ground hard today and headed to the market and then walked the length of the city Centro. I fortunately knew the way from the last trip and am near the W, the only one in SA. Sometimes I cannot even remember my hotel room #, I have so many to take up mind GIG space, however I did have Santiago pegged. Taking an old Paul Theroux book to dinner but watching the people will no doubt be the main event.
