Mercado Centro

Last Wednesday, was a national holiday, the Assumption of the Virgin Mary Day. There are many National Chilean Holidays that coincide with the Catholic Church since 70% of Chileans are Catholic.

Brad had the day off so we went to the Centro of Santiago. We ate lunch at the Mercado Central and explored the fish markets. Brad ate machas (razor clams with parmesan cheese) and I had marisco sopa (fish stew). It was a fun day.

Llamas out in the front of the mercado - I wanted my picture with them!
