It was another fantastic day, but I'm exhausted and I hate typing on my phone so this will be short.
Today we took a really nice hike at the Monumento Natural El Morado. The trail was just under 10 miles and followed a river up a canyon to the glacier where it begins. It was a gorgeous hike, perfect weather, and for most of it we had the trail to ourselves. The mountains are stunning to say the least.
After hiking we came back to Santiago and got cleaned up for dinner. Tonight we ate at Giaratotio, a restaurant on the 16th floor of a building in the downtown area that rotates 360 degrees while you eat. The views were fantastic - it's incredible how big this city is and the mountains are stunning. The dinner itself was also really good. No appetizers tonight, but we did both stick with seafood. I had "truncha gaucha," which is trout stuffed with lobster meat, and a side of sautéed seasonal vegetables. Mine was very good, but Amy's was amazing. She had grilled sea bass with capers and it might have been the best fish either of us have ever had. Her meal also cane with a "crab cake" but only the crab part of that description was true. It was actually just a bowl of crab meat baked with cheese with two crab "tweezers" (pinchers/claws - I shouldn't make fun of the very helpful English menus) on top. Also very tasty.
Tomorrow it's off to the coast to tour one of Pablo Neruda's houses and then on to Valparaiso for more sightseeing. And I predict seafood will be happening as well.
