La Moneda

Today we ventured back to the centro where we saw the famous La Moneda, which houses the seat of the President of Chile (as well as some cabinet members).  The outside is quite regal and well-guarded, and there is a really cool museum / cultural center underneath that we visited.  On the way to La Moneda there is a huge green space with the Chilean flag.  If you want to see pics, you're in luck, I remembered my camera today.

Here is La Moneda - Sadie running off to the grass

Oh, but wait, there is a fountain, so there she goes

Enjoying the water view

Enjoying my family view :)

Below is the museum. The picture doesn't do it justice, but it's very modern and well done.  There is a lot of cool art and interesting facts.  

 This is a maze.  Steve and Sadie went through it.

Sadie NAILED it.

Lunch at el Mercado Central (the fish market I blogged about awhile ago).  It was delicious! and the restaurant was empty because we went at noon, which is way before lunch time in Santiago.  Good for us since the food came fresh and fast - Sadie actually sat through most of it!
