Sunday was Santiago´s cultural day where all of the museums and government buildings were open to the public (and for free). Maesi, Jane, and I spent the morning finishing our walking tour through the city central ending at the Placio del Moneda. Every major attraction in the city central had a huge queue around the block. Once we entered Placio del Moneda, the tour was excellent. They even provided food in the middle of the tour. Under the capitol building, there was an exhibit consisting of all of Chile's agricultural recources. Among them were about ten different varieties of potatos (although Peru is know to have many more). After an extensive day of walking, we stopped at a hippster coffee shop named Brainworks. The place is decorated with designer chairs which was quite different than the other local coffee shops. We anxiously anticipated the road trip to come the following day.
