Fish Market
This morning we set out on foot to the famous fish market in the Centro. Not only did we eat a great breakfast of steamed clams with parmesan cheese but Em got her picture taken with a few of the guys behind the counters selling huge raw fish.
Next up we took the metro to the bus station on the other end of town where we bought our bus tickets for tomorrow. After all travel plans set we headed back to the internet café to upload a few more photos.
I had hopped to meet with Libertad y Desarrollo, a prominent free-market think tank located in Santiago. We exchanged a few emails but in the end the scheduling just did not work out. They probably would have had more time if it were not the week before the big presidential election but nonetheless it was a fun time to be here for us. The campaigning was in full effect for the election. Massive campaign advertising featuring lifesize cutouts of three of the candidates Bachelet, Piñera and Lavin covered the city.
Tomorrow we are heading back into Argentina. I’m looking forward to eating chorizo and morcilla at a parrilla.
