Our first week we arrived in Chile, we were fortunate to have our first visitors: Raquel’s brother Jason, sister-in-law Norri, Jordan & Sammi. We met them in Santiago (notice the smog – one of the reasons we decided that Vina del Mar on the coast of Chile would be a better place for us).
We rode a cable car up to the Cerro San Cristobal
Went to the fish and fruit/veggie mercado
And then went over to La Moneda (the old presidential palace where Salvador Allende died in the 1973 coup)
To see the pomp and circumstance of the changing of the guard
Asher absolutely loved zooming around the park in a race car bike
We also enjoyed exploring Lastarria, the neighborhood we stayed in, where we ate some delicious food
But, the best part for Aliya and Asher, of course, was spending time with their cousins
