Santiago, Chile
February 13,2018
We departed Seattle's SEATAC airport yesterday with the temperature hovering at 45 degrees F. We traveled 6,445 miles thru 5 time zones in a mere 16 hours to arrive in Santiago, Chile. We were welcomed to a day filled with crystal clear blue skies and a high of 90 degrees! It was heavenly! Santiago was absolutely beautiful.
Santiago is not only Chile's capital but also Chile's largest city. It is nestled in a valley surrounded by the stunning snow-capped mountains of the Andes and the Chilean Coast Mountain Range.
Our driver, Eduardo, picked us up at the airport and soon we were on our way to our favorite place to stay in Santiago, the apartment owned by the Hotel Orly. It is located in the beautiful Providencia district of Santiago which reminds us of Paris with its tree-lined streets and sidewalk cafes. Simply delightful.

This is the Hotel Orly
Below is our apartment which overlooks the park.
There is a full kitchen, washer, dryer, two bedrooms, bathroom and daily maid service. The room also comes with a full breakfast. We could live here for a long time!
We headed outside as sunlight filtered through the leaves of the overhanging tree boughs which line the street. We passed families with children in strollers, a businessman eating a delicious looking bar of ice cream, and couples walking hand in hand down the street. It always makes me smile to stay here.
Another reason we love this residential area is that the restaurants are fantastic! It's a lovely place to be during the day or at night.
