Transportation in Santiago is, well, interesting. As you walk the streets, you notice many public cars, or "conchos," buzzing around and honking their horns to try to entice you to get in. These are actually privately owned cars with a license to carry passengers on a certain route for about 30 cents per ride. Needless to say, we have not figured out (nor have we met anyone who can explain to us) where the exact routes are. So, we decided the best way to figure out where "route A" (the majority of conchos in front of our house) goes, we'd just hop on and ride it until it stops. Here's a picture of a woman getting into a route "A" concho.
Well, we ended up at Centro León, a large museum built by an extremely wealthy family in Santiago - they have a large cigar business, and own the "Presidente" beer company.
This afternoon, I ran into this little guy scurrying around. There are geckos of all different shades of green, and we are very friendly to them as they help out by eating bugs around the house!
