It's been National Independence Day, well, week in Chile. The country ground to a halt as thousands of people headed out of Santiago to the coast, while those of us who remained in the city enjoyed huge festivals involving dances, rodeos, barbacues known as
asados, and a series of inventive alcoholic concoctions well worth mentioning as well.
Buried amongst the food stalls and children's rides was a candy shop. A chocolate shop tempting you with colored gumdrops and mountains of white
turron, a soft nougat with peanuts in it.
Mountains of
turron
Gumdrop heaven!
My loot. Could pirate booty be any more satisfying?
