My friend's husband just made a pre-Christmas trip to Chile to visit their son who's doing a semester abroad, and I had an opportunity to chat with him about it at a party we were at the other night. He visited both the capital city of Santiago, and the coastal city of Vina del Mar. He raved about both. In fact, his brother in-law who went with him was so impressed with Chile he's considering retiring there.
Chile has been on my to visit list for quite some time, that's a post for another day, but I hadn't really considered going to Santiago. It is far more urban than I would have expected. I think that's shows how naive I am about South America. It really looks like a beautiful city. Dave said that the food was amazing, and really cheap. Sounds like a win win to me.
They also visited the coastal city of Vina del Mar, which is apparently a major tourist stop in Chile. No wonder, it looks gorgeous too. They had an incredible time. His excitement over their trip really made me envious. It will be a while before I get to go anywhere again, maybe next year. All I know is that my list of places to visit gets longer and longer.
