Please tell us about the Tour of the Presidential Palace. Did you have to get special permits? Go though metal detectors? Did you go on the weekend? Was the China exhibit traveling? At a museum? You and Ignacia look cute in your "costume"

Well I really don't know exactly how it happened but before we entered the Moneda my papá made a phone call and when we walked in to the office of the carabineros the men there knew exactly who my dad was. We didn't go through metal detectors, get our bags checked or get patted down. It was Sunday so the Moneda was empty. We only saw one other person and she was arranging flowers. The tour was really cool because we were told where the original building was and what was added on. My favorite parts were in the old building. There was a coat room leading to a waiting room which then lead to the meeting room, all of which is still used!
We also got to walk up to where the President (now Piñera if you didn't kno) works. While we were in this room the security person called to make sure we were authorized and everything because he saw us in his little monitor.

The exibit on China was a traveling exibit and I'm pretty sure it is there until the end of May. It was so much smaller then the exibits that come to the Denver Muesum but it was still set up very well and was enjoyable (AND I understood a TON!).

pregúntame algo!
