Valparaiso and eric was right about the Orly in Santiago not the San Francisco but I didn't listen. The Sheraton in Vin Del Mar

Pablo Nerudas homes were great museums and the museum of contemporary arts was---Never mind,onto food and wine: La Sabastiana's veranda (the corner table we missed} and their rissoto. The ravioli and gnocchi at pasta a vino. The ugly old lady fish at Oda Pacifico near Neruda in Valparaiso.

The restaurant week lunch worked well for Eric Lee and i. The donuts soaked in calvados or something and the bannana ice cream followed the cod almost as well as the mouse-brulee thing. This is a tree house, a club-pub, and a gastro rink with culinary skating in the open kitchen and gawking eaters all around hunched under low ceilings. I like it. 16 west 29st Manhattan.
