Lo siento, hablas espanol es muy mal.

Chile




After 2 hours of sleep on the plane to Santiago I woke to what I hoped was an omen. I guess it goes without saying that pictures don't do justice to the real thing. Keep that in mind when browsing the photo's. The dirt is dirty than it looks and the pretty is far more beautiful than I can express.





So we landed in Santiago at 7:30 and headed west to Viña del mar where we explored for the afternoon, crashed out then hit the road hard the next day up to Maintencillo where we had no internet access. Today we went north from Maintencillo to Zapillar then inland to route 5, south toward Santiago. I'm currently sitting at a Copec gas station in Llay. I don't have a lot of time so I'm just going to post what pictures I can with a caption here and there.

Not where we stayed in Viña del Mar










Our hotel













Our view











Looking North from the end of the hotel view











Looking south
















Back side of the hotel. It feels a lot like San Fransico, but intead of bumbs everywhere it's dogs






The farther north we got the better it got, but I'm out of time. We have to get past Santiago on route 5 before rush hour starts.
