Dias 109 & 110: Resumption of Latin America Road Trip

The 4 weeks we spent back home were terrific. There really is no place like home & the good life. We are re-energized and making the turn.

The flight left LAX at 1:45 PM Monday and we arrived in Santiago at 6:35 AM, Tuesday. There is a 4-hour time difference now so we are a bit jet lagged. It interesting to see the sun rise from the northeast and arc across the sky from the north at midday. The night sky in the Southern Hemisphere is totally different.

We picked up the car, ran several errands (local currency, maps & gas) and had time to enjoy lunch at Galeon Restaurant (the larger of the 2 Galeons is better), as well as visiting the museum of Pre-Columbian archaeology. It was a refresher on the Mesoamerican and Andean cultures (a treat) as well as more remote cultures. There were several vibrant civilizations when Columbus came.

We took a well-deserved nap in the afternoon.
