Another wonderful day in Santiago!! A nice sleep in as shutters make the bedrooms so nice and dark!! Then up the street stairs to a nice little cafe that Judi found yesterday for breakfast - I am going to miss chocolate croissants! Then back to Cathedral to sign up for roof top tour. Today's answer was there were no English tours at all today!! We grumbled a bit then left with the plan to take a Spanish tour tomorrow if English one isn't available. We will at least see the views! Off we went to find the market - we did:
Meat - some still with hoof attached!
Fish - cleaned while you watched!
Fish close up
And closer!
Courtyard of market with fruits & vegetables also being sold. It wasn't busy when we were there - Wed not a shopping day, we were late & everyone had already shipped, or we were early!!! Then we wandered along some streets we hadn't been before and found some interesting sights:
A simple church on outside...
Quite nice inside!
A handsome statue.
Another nice church dome with impressive doors:
We had a lovely lunch back at the nearby cafe - tomato caprece and area cheese plate- it was all delicious & I'm sorry I forgot to take a photo because it was presented so nicely!! Then home for a rest - we are finally in sync with siesta time!! Then off to walk in the large park close by:
Yes, there are palm trees in Santiago!
This is one huge tree!
Some friends I met in the park!!
Past bedtime - tomorrow is the pack & organize day! Plus hopefully a Cathedral rooftop tour in English!!
Thanks for sharing…love it!
