This hotel is owned by two couples who have filled it with collections of antiques. They served a hearty breakfast and had a warm fire going in the evenings. It was a charming place. 
We had lunch at a historic ranch which is now the play ground of the rich. It was off season so we had the place to ourselves. 
Everwhere you looked there was some view to delight the eye.
The flowers were dazzling. So are the seniors standing under them. 
We were the only ones using this private dining room. There was a warm fire burning in the fireplace. We and the Dixons enjoyed a quiet lunch. 
This was dessert. In Chile it is all about presentation. 
The cooks are in the middle and the waiters on the ends. They did a great job. 
About an hour or so from Santa Cruz is Pichilemu on the coast. It is famous for surfing. And if you look closely at the picture you will see two people with surf boards down on the rocks. 
This coastal area is very windy and has many cacti growing along the shores. 
This local Catholic church in the country is a peaceful scene. 
This is a common site in Chile. These are working riggs that haul all sorts of stuff. 
This minature cathedral is actually a crypt. It is beautiful in its detail and design. It stood alone as a tribute to the departed family members. It is not part of a cemetery.
