First day in Santiago


Early this morning we finally arrived in Santiago. As you can see from this picture, Kyle and Gabe were up at sunrise and ready to go see some sights.

Speaking of sights, we saw some great ones today, first on our city tour and then later exploring on our own. As we left the airport, we were impressed by the strikingly beautiful backdrop that the Andes mountains provide for the city of Santiago.

Some of the sights we explored today include the Santiago Cathedral, La Moneda (the presidential palace), and Cerro Santa Lucía and Cerro San Cristóbal, two hilltop parks with vistas preciosas.

We are all quite tired after a day of traveling followed by a day of sightseeing and are looking forward to a good night's sleep. We're excited to start our business visits tomorrow morning!
