Hey there my Steemit friends! In this "Real Life Captured Series" I do my best to bring you exactly that; the real life captured from destinations all around the world! After eleven years of travel experience my favorite thing to do is walk around! That's right, I simply like to go to foreign countries and walk around. I observe (and now photograph) the people, food, culture, and way of everyday life and bring it to you in this "Real Life Captured Series".

In this Santiago Chile Series we are going to get a good idea of what's doin'! Santiago is unlike any city I've ever been to. Heck, it has what's been described as a "sandwich culture". The people are a mix of different indigenous tribes and Spanish genetics.

They have there own Chilean way of speaking Spanish. They have some of the best wine in the world. They have a pretty healthy economy too. In some parts of the city we feel like were are in highly organized first world country and in other parts we feel like we are in a back alley third world slum with endless graffiti and shady characters lurking around.

Santiago is a pretty unique and diverse place. They have a huge business district hosting the tallest building in south America with 64 floors! Just a short walk from the business area you can find people selling pot brownies among many things while hanging out in front of the art museum! Now come along and let's check this place out!

All throughout South America there are people entertaining cars at stop lights for tips; but this must be the most creative way I've seen yet!

Just hanging in the park with her guitar.

The parks are very clean in this Santiago....at least most of them.

This shot was taken right out in front of the national Art Museum

Didn't see any horse mounted police officers in Peru, Ecuador, Colombia......all the way up to Mexico. But did see them in Buenos Aires Argentina.

Me in front of the Central Market.

Looks like a police photos shoot in the famous Parque de Armas!

Watch out for that hole!

That's the Sky Costenera, the tallest building in South America in the background

Carl's Jr. in Santiago Chile....how about that!
