Chilean Discoveries

 
One of my favorites - Yugo Naturales.  This is one made from cantaloupe melon.  It's just a fruit drink made from frozen fruit.  I had a Yugo de frambuesca almost everyday - raspberries and delicious.
 
 


Our first day in Santiago we took a walking tour and went to the food markets.  It was great to see all the summer fruits and vegetables there for sale.  Every city I visit, I enjoy seeing the markets.



We drove to the coast, or rather Dago drove us to the coast to a great restaurant on a cove.  This is renata  - Chilean fish and really tasty.
 
We enjoyed some fantastic foods and local wines on our trip.  Rolo discovered Carmenere.  It's a varietal that was thought to be extinct and then several years ago they found it growing in Chile.  It's a really nice, earthy red.
After a dip in the Pacific, nothing better than a freshly peeled little pineapple - better than a popsicle.
