Friday. We went east to tour the Andean foothills. 

Lunch at Casa Blonco. The building had  wonderful organic, story book architecture. Food was great.

Chile seems to be much less bilingual than Mexico. In Mexico everyone seems to know a bit of English. Enough for commerce and directions. Not so with Chile. We have been to many places where the staff only speaks Spanish. Fortunately, we usually speak enough to get by… until someone has a fancy custom order at the restaurant. 

Chile has fantastic wine. We stopped at Haras De Pirque for a tasting and to enjoy the view.
