September 11 is the anniversary of the overthrow of the Allende government. Apparently they have protests every year on that day. The smoke in the picture is coming from the metro station near us. The police showed up with 3 or 4 water cannon and effectively put out the fires and dispersed the crowds. I thought it was unusual that all the police cars have cages built over their windows. Now I realize that that protects them during protests. It sounds like the protests were mild this year.
We have had several earthquakes since we arrived. They are mild and short but make you think twice about living on the 17th floor.
My thankyou treat for taking keys to sisters that locked their keys in the apartment. It happpens about once a week.
This is the kitchen that we had remodeled. We had the wall opened up. It makes the kitchen and living room bigger. You can imagine how narrow the kitchen is without the opening. We are doing the same type of remodel to a second apartment now.
Ice cream break in the office kitchen. They look guilty don't they. Its not their first time.
