Follow our family as we head south of the border for 12 months.

We're Here!

Just flew in this morning. Very strange to fly into a "winter" climate after sweating like crazy the day before. Good to be in the same time zone; no jetlag.

I love a big city, and Santiago is a big city. Our temporary apartment is in the heart of downtown; lots of lights, traffic, tons of people. The city is just so ALIVE. We rode the metro today, went grocery shopping (homemade bread and excellent wine!) and are just trying to learn Spanish.

Detail of the day: The stop signs here say "Pare" but are in the same shape and color as our stop signs. The highway signs are just like the blue autobahn signs in Europe and the roads are excellent.
