Santiago is a beautiful city. Today we went to Parque Forestal, a park that runs along the river and has walking areas, various statues, playgrounds, and tons of people. We played soccer, the kids climbed on a statue, and we walked. I’ve never been in a park so full and full of life.
The plaza behind the museum was an unusual site, a circus of artists practicing and exhibiting their talents. Jugglers of all levels—oranges, balls, knives, fire. Acrobats doing slow-dance moves hanging from a ribbon-like rope attached to a tree. Breakdancers doing astonishing moves to old school rap music. Families and hippies and kids with green Mohawks all milling about. I felt like I was in a David Lynch movie.
