We are here in Santiago! It took 13 hours to get here in a plane. We got here and came to our apartment and unpacked. Then we took a walk through Santiago Centro and got lunch, and ice cream which was very delicious. We stopped at a little toy store where my brother and I got some miniature wrestling guys. Then we went to a plaza called Plaza de Armas and played with our guys and took some pictures. Check out my pictures of the carabineros, main statue and other parts of the plaza.
Plaza de Armas has been Santiago's "symbolic heart" since its founding in 1541. The center of the square used to be the gallows during colonial times. Now, there is a fountain with Chilean palm trees. A church is on the edge of the plaza.
