An evening stroll...

After waking up from a short nap refreshed and ready to re-venture outside, we set out for a stroll through the neighborhood. We meandered down Calle Callao to Avenida del Libertador, both big thoroughfares, and ended up at the beautiful park surrounding the Museum of Fine Arts. 




There was the weekly Saturday afternoon artisanal fare going on, and we stopped for warm empanadas and some shopping. Isabel was instantly transfixed by a 3 peso little pink "cerdito" (little toy pig...60 cents), which she bought and carried with her all evening.


Then we found a cute pizza place called Puerto Montt, for a "muzzarela y jamón" pizza (which came with green olives on top, not sure why). Then home for a well-deserved night's sleep. 

Note that like in much of Europe, everyone here seems to have a tiny dog wearing a sweater (it is winter here in the Southern Hemisphere after all). And because many people take their dogs with them on an evening walk...watch where you step on the sidewalks!
