No Whip Required

Day 3: A new PR

We woke up naturally. No alarm. Just pure sleep.

Before remote work, we got coffee at a local shop: two cappuccinos, a flat white and a chocolate croissant.

After some meetings, The Alpha and I went for a 7 km run. Good news: I set a new 5 km PR, thanks to The Alpha's motivation. No whip required this time.

We climbed Santa Lucía Hill and snapped some photos, then grabbed Orange Sour cocktails and beers and met up with The Beta. We took him up Santa Lucía Hill too, for some amazing photos and panorama videos.

El Fogón de Momo

Dinner was at El Fogón de Momo: ribeye, short ribs, beef tartare and some amazing deep-fried bread. So good we ordered a second round.

They tried to sell us a more expensive wine. The Alpha corrected them, and we saved five dollars.

We spent the rest of the night chilling.

Day 4: Bikes and the river

Tuesday at Santiago Panorámico. Coffee at Selve. We worked.

Then we rented bikes from Bicicleta Verde and learned a bit about Santiago's geography, like who lives north of the river. We rode to the end of the path, picked up water at a local grocery store, spotted a Scotiabank, and biked back to Parque Bicentenario. A drink at Mestizo, then we returned the bikes.

Panchita, and a staring contest

We met up with The Beta and went to dinner in Lo Castillo at a restaurant called Panchita: osobuco, stuffed peppers with potatoes and meat, octopus, ceviche carretillero, and picarones (fried donuts) with ice cream.

The Alpha and The Beta played a game where they tried to look inconspicuous (they looked like weirdos) while trying not to blink first.

We went looking for a bank. It was closed. So we hurried home, changed into pajamas and went to bed.

Day complete. We love South America!
