Santiago Day 61/62/63 Feb 12 14

Santiago Febr 12 14 bike sold 006

The last few days I have wondered to North a few blocks and just taken random shots of buildings in this part of the city….new commercial construction is everywhere…..so some of the older homes  I photographed will likely disappear in the next couple years……Santiago Febr 12 14 bike sold 004 Santiago Febr 12 14 bike sold 002 Santiago Febr 12 14 bike sold 005 Santiago Febr 12 14 bike sold 008 Santiago Febr 12 14 bike sold 007 Santiago Febr 12 14 bike sold 006 Santiago Febr 12 14 bike sold 010 Denny’s, Starbucks, Burger King, McDonalds, Dunkin Donut’s but no Timmy's’…….Santiago Febr 12 14 bike sold 009 ………………Santiago Febr 12 14 bike sold 012 Santiago Febr 12 14 bike sold 013 Santiago Febr 12 14 bike sold 015 Santiago Febr 12 14 bike sold 016 Santiago Febr 12 14 bike sold 019 Santiago Febr 12 14 bike sold 021 Santiago Febr 12 14 bike sold 023 This I took by holding the camera above the fenced yard as most of these places are hidden by 8 foot walls.Santiago Febr 12 14 bike sold 024 Many of these old homes have fancy Santiago Febr 12 14 bike sold 028 entries…..the gate was open so I snapped this……Santiago Febr 12 14 bike sold 025 Santiago Febr 12 14 bike sold 026 Santiago Febr 12 14 bike sold 027 Santiago Febr 12 14 bike sold 028

Good News…..The bike sold….I was talking to a potential buyer when the Policia came along and asked if I was the owner of the bike…at least I think that is what they asked….si I replied and the officer motioned for me to go with another officer……now I should mention that these officers spend all day and 1/2 the night at the end of the street I reside on……usually occasionally pulling a motorcycle rider aside and asking for papers……ok I followed the officer in utter silence thinking he is taking me either to the cruiser or an Officer that can speak English…so when we arrive at the cruiser, I ask the new Officer if he speaks English…he just shakes his head sternly and is staring at his I phone….the other officer says something to him…they ask me a number of questions…I just stare blankly at them….and tell them I went into the hotel to get the key for the parking lot…..my bike was on the sidewalk along with other bikes for a short while…….at least I think its a parking issue….the words en venta come up…..translates to For SAle , si I reply….none of us has a clue what the other is saying…the officer who started all this comes along and with the waive of his hand I am told to go….what the @@@@@@@

I go back and with the assistance of the Hotel Receptionist translating for us…we make a deal and today EUROMOT after 2 hours in the NOTARY office is now Felipe Eduardo’s stead……..350,000 pesos……..Santiago Febr 12 14 bike sold 030Felipe with his friend………..
