I heard about this event from someone who handed me and article from the newspaper.  That day, two other people told me about it, so I knew that I had to go.  The event was a wine sale at the Mapocho, put on my El Mercurio.  I've had been wanting to go there ever since I saw the huge glass door in a photograph, so I took my camera and met a friend.  The Mapocho is an old train station, now a cultural center.  They have exhibitions there and events like this one.  While I was waiting for my friend to arrive, I found a gallery of black and white photographs from Jerusalem by Alex Levac.  One of them featured a favorite corner of mine where I used to get coffee and sandwiches.  Salmon with cream-cheese was always my favorite.  How strange it is to go all the way around the world to find a photograph of your favorite corner.

Once we went entered the wine sale, we found tons of great deals.  Wines were going for 25 to 50 percent off!  Unfortunately I couldn't buy anything because I didn't have an El Mercurio card.  So these couple of photographs are all that I brought back.  It was nice to get out of the house because I have been working rather continuously for the last couple weeks.  It was a beautiful day and we went for a cup of coffee afterward.  Life is good!
