Santiago metro

I thought I'd put the Santiago metro map on here, just for fun.  Our closest metro stop is Salvador, on the red line.  We often shop at Costanera Center which is roughly between the Los Leones and Tobalaba stops on the red line (to the East of us).  Our usual pattern is to walk down there, and then take the metro back when we're loaded down with groceries.

To get to work, J takes the red line west to Los Heroes, and then takes the yellow line south to Parque O'Higgins.

Downtown is roughly where the yellow line crosses the green and red lines.  However, every time we've gone to that area, we've just walked from our house--it's about a 45 min walk through park the whole way until the last 5 blocks or so.

Truth is, we mostly walk everywhere, but it's nice to take the metro sometimes.  It certainly feels completely unnecessary to have a car.  The girls have gotten the metro totally figured out and know all the stops, and which direction we have to take it to get where we are going.  They also have the little recorded announcements memorized--warnings about the doors closing, and the notifications of the upcoming stop, etc.--all in Spanish, of course.
