LAST Photos from #Chile !!

Some of Santiago’s metro stations are also public spaces for art or music. The Quinta Normal station is huge, and contains mural and, on the day, a photography exhibition.

Ahem. Someone in greater Santiago’s transportation department likely got an earful for ordering these blue trains, which are full car too short for the Line 1 platforms.

I. Love. The flowers. Here.

LUPINS.

Outdoor chess anyone? Near Universidad Catolica.

I’d heard about this place ever since arriving in Santiago. It lives up to the hype.

My NOW FAVOURITE thing: Lomito con palta — slow roasted, thinly sliced pork and avodaco on a bun. With fresh strawberry juice.

The church of Los Dominicos, Las Condes, Santiago.

Los Dominicos “village” contains artisans kiosks and…animals. I did a lot of Christmas shopping here, and met…

…a parrot, and…

…TWO peacocks. They’re raised for their feathers. Next time you see Elton John or Brandon Flowers wearing feathers, they may well have come from Chile!

Photos from China: WARNING. SNAILS.

Lots and lots of snails. We’re coming to the end of Zhongshan’s wet season (or one of many), and I’ve seen dozens of snails out every day, everywhere. And butterflies as big as my hand. One hummingbird, one lizard (both too fast for my camera).

And…a squirrel. Yeah.

I logically know how they do this, but it’s so WEIRD to see.

On the fence of the middle school I teach at.

Butterfly-to-be.

HI!

Small snail, big snail. On a Wall.

I’m pretty sure these two are…gettin’ it on?

This is ONE FLOWER from a tree in our garden.

One of our neighbourhood cats. She recently had kittens.

That’s a snail…and that’s the toe of my shoe.

Close-up of THE tiniest snail I’ve ever seen.
