There are so many interesting things I've encountered that I'm just going to have to list a few to catch up. The eggs and milk are not refrigerated here. It doesn't seem to affect the taste, but it is very different. Milk comes in a little box, and there are just millions of little boxes on the shelves at the grocery. The Chileans are very fond of bread and avocados. The Texas Burger here, at a sports bar, has a fried egg on it. They have a fruit here called a pepito, which is quite good. A cross between a pear and a melon. There are small green parrots with grey chests everywhere, and they make a lot of racket. Everyone kisses you on the cheek when they greet you, and they will touch you on the shoulder or arm. Very close contact. They also have no qualms about asking you questions, even if they don't know you. Lots of affection shown in public.
This photo is my favorite so far. This was a beautiful door in the Concha y Toro Barrio, and I just had to take a picture.
