I landed in Santiago after an 8-hour flight from Miami, having slept very little. It was too dark in the early morning to see much of the landscape, but I did see some mountaintops when we were still at a high altitude. I was shocked to see so much of the U.S. in the Santiago Airport. Most stunning was the Dunkin' Donuts that greeted me immediately, and would you believe there was another one when I got to my gate?! I wandered over and noticed that one could purchase a "Boston Manjar." Manjar = Creme/Cream. Who knew I'd be learning a new Spanish vocab word at Dunkin Donuts? Anyway, my first real view of Chile was departing from Santiago for Arica, which is what you see in this photo. It was breathtaking.
