yay!

I got into Santiago this morning at 6 am and immediately was excited. The architecture here beats Concepcion's hands down! We checked into our hostel (Hostal de Sammy) and slept for a few hours. We're getting ready to go wander now, so more later.

More Later: We ended up walking to the Plaza O'Higgins where there's an amusement park (very random), through the Palacio Moneda (which has an outdoor art museum), and the commercial district where I admired all the shoe stores! After that we headed north and found out that there was a huge book fair going on, so we headed in and ended up meeting up with some Americans we knew who happened to be at the book fair too. The book fair was pretty intimidating, unfortunately all the books were expensive, so I didn't buy anything. To end the day we went to see Bourne Ultimatum, which was really good. To top off a great day the hostal is having a free spaghetti dinner!
