SANTIAGO

NOTE: "HOME" takes you to our initial home page; "UP" will return you 
to the EXPLORING site for more exploring.

We arrived in Santiago on February 11 needing some “rest & recovery” time after a week of fishing at Martin Pescador Lodge (see, Martin Pescador).  We were joined there by Mark Dagostino, Ed’s second cousin (who has now shared part of five of our adventures).   We explored the town for two days.  We were able to walk to all of the key sites except when we used the funicular to access the viewpoints of the city.
