Chile's National Cemetery

Cementerio General de Santiago

21 January 2011

The tour ended at the public cemetery. We saw the mass graves of the unknown and disappeared (Patio 29) We also saw Allende’s tomb. I thought Allende’s tomb as well as the entire cemetary was really well designed. They say it is like its own city and I think that is true.

Allende’s Communist Party Headquarters

We continued on to the “nice neighborhood” where we saw the Headquarters of the Allende Socialist Party. This was one of the first torture centers. They are still working on making it into something, but we were allowed in. It was so creepy.

Chile’s New Memories

21 January 2011

We next rushed across town to the Museum of New Memories. We spent so much time at Villa Grimaldi that we had very little time to spend there. The museum had photos of the disappeared and a lot of handwritten letters and other documents, some addressed to General Pinochet himself…

Villa Grimaldi

My first day in Santiago I spent setting up my second day in Santiago. I wasted the day other than the fact I found PEANUT BUTTER!!! I am so tired of tuna fish and avacado sandwiches!
