The Grand Tour... Santa Lucia Hill

Santa Lucia Hill..Fountain at the entrance. I had no idea what was coming...lol. well, my feet didn't know.

A few stairs up, and now we're talking! This is the way that shall lead me to the top. My feet still had no idea.

Getting closer to the first stage. The gold is to make it to the castle on the top... feet are still clueless..

Half way up the staors, closer look at the main fountain.. and trying to figure out if this is Poseidon or Neptune...

Yay! we made it to the back of it!! Feet are starting to figure out where this is going...lol

Back again..and we keep moving... up

A view from afar of our National Library (that would be a next for a visit ok?)

up and up we go..feet are already complaining...

a view of the city from the *almost* top... and a few minutes for feet to recover...

By George! I think she made it!! There you have it.. a few more steps, and we'll reach the castle, at the top of the Hill...

Yeees!! The Castle!!...well, the remains of it. I have no idea of the History of it..all I know it was used during the Conquest period... it still has some canons around...I have to do my homework on this one (there are not tourist guides around here)

a tower...

..vertigo??? Lol, just a view from the tower...

Turning around from the Castle, we find Darwin Plaza... and a tiny church, not currently in use, because it's actually a Shrine. As a monument dedicated to one of our forefathers..Benjamin Vicuña Mackenna...

A closer look at BVM's Shrine.. and the end of our tour. But...
As we found a place for feet to rest, before going down... we encountered ...

..A FRIEND!! Say Hello to Lizzy Lizard... she was my company while feet rested, and cammie rested...
Hope you enjoyed The Tour :)
