This morning we found a wonderful little coffee shop near our hotel and had coffee and croissants.
Then we walked towards the Plaza de Armas. Last time we were in Chile in 2019 we only spent one night in Santiago on our way home and we stayed near the airport because there was civil unrest and there were violent demonstrations in the center of Santiago . As we walked along the main street today a lot of buildings were boarded up and others had closable metal shutters and doors. We hypothesized that this was because of the riots.
We walked around the center for a while.
We wanted some lunch and just happened to find a little restaurant very near Palacio de La Moneda. They offered a menu of the day that was very good. We started with squash soup for Duke and Ham rolled around avocado for me. Then I had tongue and Duke had chicken breast. For desert I had banana and with carmel sauce and Duke had flan. The meal for the two of us was about $19.
We took the metro back to our hotel and then napped.
Tonight we went to a jazz club about a 20 minute walk from our hotel in the Italian District. We had dinner and enjoyed a great show at the Jazz Corner.
