The grandparents have arrived! They made it to my apartment around 11 and then rested while I finished the work day. After work we went to eat lunch at Tiramasu (pizza and bruschette) and then stopped by Castano to get some bread and water.
Here they are standing outside Plaza Peru:

Magic jack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DAY 2
Waiting to go into Pablo Neruda's house in Bellavista:
The Green Bike Tour group was there before us. I want to go on one of their tours!
Outside Pablo's house
Outside of the Parque Municipal..or National....I can't remember....on the way to take the tram up San Cristobal Hill.
Inside the park gates
Here it comes!
Steepest tram ride in history probably! It's a little un-nerving going up it because it is SO HIGH!!! We managed to have fun though.
At the top of the hill
Check out the smog! You don't really notice it day to day...but this vantage point shows you what it looks like!
We bought a Mote con Huesillo (drink that is stewed dried peaches served in a glass with lots of light syrup and a few tablespoons of soft cooked wheat). It was too sweet for our taste..but the peach was good and the wheat at the bottom of the cup was interesting.

And giving it a try!
We ate empanadas and salad for lunch and plan to head out to the mall tonight for dinner and JUMBO!!
Looks like fun!
