At lunch time on Thursday, Eddy and I had to go into downtown Santiago to run some errands for the school. I decided to video parts of our drive so that I could show you around the city a little bit.
Since most of this video was taken around 12:30 on a Thursday, you unfortunately won't see the crazy traffic that happens in the late afternoons. (We intentionally avoid going into the city at that time of day. But if we ever do, I will make sure to record that for you as well.)
You will, however, see a lot of cultural things as we drive through the city, such as people carrying umbrellas to shade them from the sun, motorcycles all around ignoring every single traffic law, women carrying things on their heads, men pushing carts full of things to sell, the monument, people hanging out of the doors of moving buses, people selling water bottles at intersections, etc.
The last minute of the video shows us arriving in our neighborhood at the end of the day. After we turn the corner, you will see a white building in front of us. That is where we live. Our apartment is the second floor of that building. The video ends with us turning into our drive way.
So, I invite you to take a five minute drive with us around Santiago. I even added a Spanish praise and worship song for you to listen to while you watch.
