Santiago del Chile

Brrrr, here is cold, really cold, specially at night. I am in Santiago now, the capital of Chile, in an indian langague the word "chile" means "cold", and I understand why, cause hot this time at year at least, is non existing.
We sleep in a hotel for 8000 pesos, wich is really cheap. Yesterday we took out some money, it sounds alot, 180 000 pesos, but its really not even close to that much. Well, the money here is still not that horrible as in Paraguay were we walked around with half a million of guaranies.
We took the underground metro to the center were we looked at some churches and a great cathedral. The batteries at our camera was over so we had to buy new, unfortunately we cant load our batteries in Chile, cause the plugs here are different.
We aslo saw the Moneda Palace, the place were the president of Chile is living.
We didnt see much more than this the last day but today we will explore the old town of Santiago. Lets see what we more will do today, we planned to go up in the mountans in some days, Diego wanted to stay one week in the snow, but now we decided we wont do this, it is all to cold and we dont have enough clothes.
Well, I like Santiago, its a very nice city, but it is said that the underground is a bit dangerous, lets hope its not that horrible as I read in internet.
This was all for now, bye!
