Santiago Day 3

Today the weather was perfect in Santiago. This morning we had coffee at the same coffee shop where we had coffee yesterday.

Breakfasts

Then we walked to the Nobel prize winning Chilean poet, Pablo Marisa’s home, La Chascona.

We took the audio tour. I enjoyed the tour. It was an interesting place but it also gave us a perspective of Chile’s recent history.

Next we took the funicular to the statue of the Virgin Mary that overlooks Santiago. From there we rode the cable down and back we had great views of Santiago and the surrounding mountains.

From the bottom of the funicular we went looking for a jazz club we might eat at tonight. The club we were looking for appeared to be closed so we walked back to our hotel.

We had a great dinner at Casaluz Restaurant not far from where we ate last night on Avenida Italia.
