One thing must be said. Santiago is full of big things. Big mountains, big cable cars, big menus, big streets and big statues. And generally, like this photo shows. Big, ahem, sporting types.
Today was a ridiculously fun day to be on the streets of Santiago. It was a public holiday and this afternoon the local football team competed in the national championship finals. People were celebrating crazy fanatic style everywhere you looked, crowding into bars, electronic stores and anywhere else there was a TV playing to catch the game. Such an amazing atmosphere. Glad to say that the home team won - no riots necessary!
