Santiago, Chile

Made it into Chile to see Santiago and my old coworker and friend Rachel Shaefer. We worked together at Water Street Brewery and she is one of the first people that told me I could make it to Argentina and that I should go. She is a major reason I made it here and I was very glad to see her, thanks Rachel.

Santa Lucia is a gorgeous park right next to Santiago’s center
