Meeting the FOTO group

Today after breakfast at the Hilton, we are picked up by Claudio to be driven to our hotel in Santiago, the El Bosque. Claudio will be our guide for the duration.

After settling in, I sent a note to the group to see who was in already. Turned out Joyce, Joel, Marilyn and Suzanne are here. We met them at the hotel restaurant for a late lunch and long catch up session. Then Amy showed up and joined us for an even later lunch. After her quick snack, I joined Amy to go to the nearby mall, Costanera Center. We later found out it is the largest mall in South America and the connected tower is the tallest in South America. The place is packed, and the H&M even more so. Amy picked up a few things for Laura who had flight issues and will not have her luggage the first day.

Dinner tonight is at the hotel where we meet most everyone. There are several people who have still not arrived.
