Celebrating in Plaza Italia after a win for Chile in the South Africa World Cup Games, 2010.
Editor’s Note: Starting every Monday, we’ll be inviting guest bloggers to join us on Eat Wine to bring some fresh air, and voice, to the blog. Photographers, chefs, cooks, winemakers, writers, and generally speaking, people from different walks of life and even other parts of the world, too. This week, we’re kicking off the concept with an extremely talented local expat photographer, Kendal Montgomery, who’s decided to call Santiago home. These images are her vision of Santiago and what makes her love it. Look forward to hearing your comments. Enjoy!
I have always said that Santiago is so great because travel an hour west and you’re on the coast; go an hour east, and you’re in the heart of the Andes. But what about Santiago itself?
No need to go east, west, north or south, Santiago is a city that offers something for everyone. There is deep tradition mixed with fresh and modern. You can fill your days with excitement, or simply take in the Andes’ grandeur while relaxing in a park. Yes, Santiago is a wonderful place…
Chile celebrates 200 years.
