Feria (fruit and veggie market) 8/14/2010

This is the street where the feria is located about 3 miles south of our apartment. On Saturdays the feria just takes over the street from about 10:00 AM til about 3:00 PM. The quality here is very good.

Maipo Canyon July 3, 2010

I know there are several pictures of the Maipo River. This is such a beautiful setting and its far away from the big city. This is the middle of winter. We want to return to the canyon latter in the spring to see everything green and see the river flow.

This photo and the following were also taken from the vehicle while driving up the canyon.

This picture was taken by Mom while driving up the Maipo Canyon.

This is Elder David and Sister Jenenne Goodwin.

The Andes Mountains are so beautiful and majestic. But unlike the mountain in UT these mountains are mostly barren but very steep.

This is one view of the Maipo River Southeast of Santiago. We traveled to this Canyon de Maipo with Elder and Sister Goodwin. Elder Goodwin is the Area Psychologist from Cedar City, UT. This canyon leads to the Argentine border on a dirt road. We did not drive that far. As you can see the water coming down the Andes is flowing pretty good for early winter. We will need to go back in the spring to see the flow.














This is a small store near the bridge over the river. Behind the store lkis the road that goes further up the canyon to the Argentine border.

















This picture is looking up the mountains from the river. A really beautiful view.




This sign is just a common site traveling he outskirts of Santiago. It is a Cafe that sells a local favorite, the empanada, a half moon shaped cover bread type filled with meat, potatos etc. They are really good. Pan Amasado is a thick hard crusted bread that I do not care for.
