First Stop – Home Base

Our home base in Chile is at Sita’s parents’ home in PeƱalolen, a suburb of Santiago.

Below is a picture I took from the car at the beginning of the neighborhood. We were waiting to turn left before making a right into the gated community.

This is the front of the house with Jorge (Sita’s younger brother standing in front)

A few more pictures of the house and the neighborhood.


The following picture illustrates one of the reasons why I could never live in a city. The front yard is beautiful, but it’s way too small. I took this picture from our second story bedroom.

If I had to live in a city … this sounds eerily familiar especially if you follow the blog of a close relative. Anyway, if I had to live in a city, I’d prefer one with a view of mountains. You do get a good view of the mountains from our home base.

One of the last vineyards within Santiago and it’s slated to become suburbia soon.
