This was the view from my balcony the other day. It's got a lot hotter in the last week or so, there's less snow now. The first time I came to Santiago it was three weeks before I saw the mountains because of the haze.
The best views tend to be in spring, when there's enough sun to burn off the haze, but still snow on the mountains.
After flirting with Cheeses of Nazareth and The Edam Busters, I settled on The Cheese Empanada. It pays tribute to the tasty Chilean snack that I am often forced to fall back on, faced with a menu of cows,pigs, chickens, rabbits and unidentified sea gloop (although sometimes the gloop is pretty good).
Tales of a Shropshire Lad in Chile is nothing of the sort really. Most of the time it used to be pictures of The Diminutive One and I, supplemented with snaps of whatever from wherever with whoever, but now Amber has come along and stolen the show.
