Travel Tips #1

I've found Kayak is the best search engine for trips, they search the searcher websites and find you the cheapest site from sites like travelocity.com,orbitz.com,expedia.com,americanairliness.com,LAN.com, + every search site available. I've spent days trying to figure out the best sites online, then I read an article in New York Times about Kayak. Its worked for me to buy my tickets back and forth from Chile to the United States 4 times.

Stencil Art

Stencil art is huge in South America. Its quicker and easier than creating your own custom piece each time. It seems to be accepted as a legitimate art piece and is rarely painted over if the pieces are in the right alley, wall, staircase, etc. 

El arte Stencil es enorme en Sudamérica. Es mas rápido y fácil que crear una pieza única cada vez. Es aceptado como una legitima pieza de arte y rara vez se pinta sobre uno si las piezas están en el callejón, muralla, escalera, etc. correctos.

Perfect Pass-out

On my way to spanish class today in downtown Santiago I had to look twice when I saw this guy passed out. He was unconcious, with mouth open in the perfect position. Whether he was a bum, tired traveler, or impromptu artist, he had to be captured on film for the world to see.

Camino a mis clases de español hoy dia en el centro de Santiago tuve que mirar dos veces cuando vi a este tipo durmiendo. Estaba inconsciente, con la boca abierta en esta posición perfecta.

Graffiti in La Florida

Sometimes there's not enough time to stop and take a photo. So you have to just snap one out the window. These are some shots of graffiti in La Florida, in the southern part of Santiago.

A veces no hay suficiente tiempo para parar y tomar una foto. Por lo que hay que tomar una desde la ventana del auto andando. Estos son algunos graffitis de La Florida, en el Sur de Santiago.

Cajon del Maipo

This weekend we took a trip south of Santiago to check out the Cajon del Rio Maipo y San Jose de Maipo y Pirque. The river itself is a murky brown, so I was hesitant to get in and swim, but our dog Foxy was all about it. Along the way we saw a stand that sold honey and local foods, built like a giganic mushroom in the forest.

Este fin de semana hicimos un viaje al sur de Santiago para conocer el Cajon del Rio Maipo, San Jose de Maipo y Pirque. El rio en si mismo es de un color café oscuro por lo que estuve reacio a nadar, pero mi perrita foxy no lo dudo por un segundo. En el camino vimos un stand que vendía mermelas y miel que tenia la forma de una callampa.
