We arrived in Santiago this morning to start our vacation and the first culture shock came with the money. We each changed US$200 and got 128,600 pesos! 1,000 pesos are equal to about C$2!

We went out to lunch and when the 20,600 bill came we both burst out laughing. We have to find an easy way to convert these huge amounts in our heads or we won’t have a clue how much we are spending. Hilarious!

Tomorrow we’ll take the hop on hop off bus and get a good look at the city. I’ll take photos.
