My Creative Space

My Creative space this week has been to document my trip whilst in Chile.
Here, I'm with my dad with a pic of the Andes in the background (excuse the smog...) It looks much clearer after it rains and washes away the pollution.





 
I have free time in the morning and also in the afternoon, and I have gone on many errands and of course shopping for gifts to take home to the loved ones. Amongst all of that, I have been snapping things of interest on my handy and small mobile phone. The large camera which I thought I would use is tucked safely away and only used when travelling by car to visit relatives, as I would not have it for long if I were to walk down the city streets sightseeing.

 

Here is a hair salon




A cart selling candied and roasted
peanuts by the side of the road


 

A replica of the Easter Island Tolomiros




 
























 





Here are some of the VERY delicious foods I've been consuming....



 LOMITO

CHILENITO (merengue and caramel biscuits)

SUSHI wrapped in avocado - not Nori as I am used to seeing - Was very nice


CHACARERO with PISCO SOUR



Eva has a replica of this carousel at home, sent by her Chilean great grand mother and grand aunties





 




not long to go now till I head back home - 4 days till I see my much missed and loved family again.



 
And while I'm online, I'm going to take a look here.... you should too :)
