Sunset On San Cristobal

Santiago Sunset
Sharon On San Cristobal
Don't Drink The Water
This evening Sharon and I took a bike ride to the top of Cerro San Cristobal (Hill San Cristobal), in the center of Santiago. The place was mobbed with people enjoying the warm evening and the views over looking the city. The funniest thing happened when this dog came over to the drinking fountain to try and get a drink of water, problem was he had a hard time trying to turn the knob cuz he had no thumbs, so this guy helped him out by taking a few mouths full of water and spitting it into the dogs mouth. One thing this guy hadn't seen, was the little kid that had just finished washing his hair in the same drinking fountain, and the gentleman that washed his Son's dirty face in the same drinking fountain, and the other man that just finished washing his dirty hands in the same water fountain. Now you know why they say DON'T DRINK THE WATER! Early tomorrow morning Sharon and I are off for a day trip to Valparaiso, Chile's pricipal port city and site of this years Paris to Dakar Race that is going from Buenos Aires, Argentina to Buenos Aires, Argentina passing thru Chile and stopping for a day of rest in Valparaiso. The racers are not scheduled to be in Valparaiso until the 10th, but I'm sure that with an event this big there will be plenty of pre-race activity there. Boy was I wrong!!!!
