These pictures can hopefully give you an idea of the everyday things we see here in Santiago! The first one is a little more serious than the second, but I like them both equally. The first picture is of art in a metro station. All metro stations have some kind of art displayed. Some stations have themes and some have a mixture of pieces. This piece reminds me a lot of Chile with the mountains and the volcanoes. The second picture is of one of my favorite signs in Santiago. A simple play on words makes me laugh every time. "Aquí" in Spanish means "here" in English, but it is an advertisement saying that they can copy keys at the place. Just a few things around Santiago that make it unique.
