After breakfast we left Racagua. Tried to get a park near the Plaza de Armas in Racagua, but there must have been something on...cars and people everywhere. So we drove back to Santiago to pick up Camelia (Pablos girlfriend) then hit another set of toll roads and headed towards the coast. The day was sunny and warm, well after the fog had burnt off. Very large vineyards everywhere. Which reminds me, had a great Chilean Sav Blanc last night with tea.
Arrived at Pablos dad's aprtment around 2 pm. The apartment is right on the beach, no road in front, just a sandy walkway. The water was blue and inviting, but Pablo assured us the water was very cold...this was supported when we watched two girls run down to the water, as soon as they hit the water they did an immedisate stop and retreated back up the beach.
Had a great lunch, hamburgers with lots of mashed avocardo and tomato. We then walked around the beach..lots and lots of high rise apartments. And lots and lots of stray dogs, really thought one or two of them had a death wish as they wandered across the road, which was very busy.
In the evening we went out for a fish meal..it was very good. Salmon, swordfish and some local species called congario (spelling could be a bit off). Had loco (abalone) and scallops for entree.
