Our scenary has changed a bit since trading in our van dwelling lifestyle for apartment living. Our doors don't open directly to the riverside or rocky ground; however, we still have mountain views and beautiful sunsets! They just happen to be from the 19th floor patio of our apartment in Santiago.
We're begining to settle in to our digs in the bustling neighborhood of Las Condes which is east of Santiago's city center. Several factors were in play when we chose our apartment but location was probably the biggest. Though we're off a main road heading in and out of the city, this was a strategic move so that we could easily get out of town! The noise of traffic - constant horn honking, bass bumping, car alarms going off and tires screeching - is our background noise nearly any hour of the day. Quite the change from what both of us are used to!
We're about a quarter mile from a metro station and we purchased bikes for super easy commuting to work and Spanish school so we really only utilize the car on weekends (so far). Oh, and a climbing gym is conveniently located around the corner.

We obviously had to have a room dedicated to our gear!
Next up is finding the best of the five sushi restaurants within close proximity to our place, the cheapest price on fruits and veggies between the three markets within walking distance, and which out-of-town climbing destination takes the least amount of time to get to door-to-door. And, we're looking forward to exploring what this city is all about - from music to food to other interesting things that make this city the center of Chile's largest conurbation.
