Santiago, Chile
Because we chose to get an apartment in the older Centro portion of the city we were nice and close to the great historical buildings here. However it also came with the wonderful experiences that come with being in the older sections of any older city. In all honesty, we never had any problems with…

Wine Tour Time
We have been in Santiago nearly two weeks now and figured it was high time we shared some of our experiences. It has been an interesting time for us. We arrived in what we call “Tourist mode”, which is to say we kept busy every day taking in sights and enjoying the food. Part of…
