A 22.5 lb backpack,
one flight to Atlanta,
another 4789 miles on a 767,
10 hours, and a few crying babies later,
WE MADE IT!
Attempts to fall asleep on the flight were fairly successful. I only woke up a few times! At 3 a.m. we were over Ecuador, at 5 a.m. we were just West of Peru over the Pacific, and at 7 a.m. I woke up to find the sun rising over the Andes Mountains at 37,000 feet. Absolutely stunning.
Santiago is very interesting. Definitely an up and coming city. It is definitely on the brink of something spectacular.
Our first day, we roamed the city, found a few interesting restaurants and made a few friends, our friends who were rather furry. Santiago is filled with dogs. They're on just about every corner. All of these dogs are really calm and happy. They're like community pets, everyone feeds and loves on them.
I'll post pictures soon. Today we're going to la isla negra and Valpariso. I have 20 minutes to get ready. Some things never change!
