The views overlooking Santiago from Cerro San Cristobal are absolutely breathtaking. This city is seriously HUGE. It was neat getting into my first inner-city subway also. They accelerate and decelerate really fast, so if you're not holding onto a bar, you'll end up on your bum! We hope to visit Santa Luncia tomorrow, which I understand is a Spanish fortress which founded Santiago City. There was a battle between the Spanish and the natives - the Spanish winning. The name "Santiago" also means "James".
