This morning I woke, well before my alarm. But I decided that as I wasn't in a hurry to go anywhere this morning, that I would just lie in bed. It soon came time to get up, I got ready and then headed down for breakfast. It was a pretty basic breakfast, but I was happy to get a cup of coffee, even if it did have a slight dirt undertone. After breakfast, I returned to my room, grabbed my bags, headed down to the foyer to check out and wait for my transfer to t...

Hello November!!!! Before last night, I can't remember the last time I had a good soak in a bath. The temptation of having such a beautiful, big spa bath was too much. So I filled it up, put some nice music on and soaked away the sore back that I seemed to have picked up yesterday, after hauling my luggage off the airport carousel.

Today I had nothing planned, so it was nice to sleep in!! No where to rush off to, and no tours needing me to be awake and ready, waiting in the foyer. After breakfast, I decided that I was going to spend my last day in Santiago just walking around. It is definitely the best way to see the city!! I had walked around the old part of town the other day on my city tour, so I didn't really want to head back there. The only place that I haven't really seen too we...
