Pinoche Bunker

How cool or random is that? today I went with Tia to downtown Santiago. We walked around all the really old and awesome antique buildings, lot of trees and pretty flowers, you can see the mountains from the subway-metro as well as from the top of some buildings and certain parts of the street. very awesome.

Tia and I went to an indigenous art exhibit that happens to be Pinoche Bunker. so pretty neat. got to see lots of pretty jewlery and blankets and other items that I am hoping to find some before I leave. walked around and looked at lots of different alleys filled with neat stuff, they have one that is all sewing stuff, anothe all arts and crafts. Have I mentioned yet that some people due random things like sell makeup on blankets on the streets? (not quite up to my Avon standards says the snob) and also on the stairs of the subways they might sell safety pins or bandaids? or homemade pastrys, which I have tended to stay away from as most are made with manjar, a EXTREMELY sweet dulce de leche..have I mentioned that all types of singers and performers will jump on the bus, with a guitar and start belting away? one day a women was singing music that I would compare most to opera at the entrance to the subway..

it was also funny as today we went by the used clothing area that I have been trying to get to for months, but as I am living soon I am going to pass on buying myself more clothes when I get to go back to all my stuff!1 ya!!So I am trying to get in as much Santiago time as possible before I leave.
