Bio Bio

We went to Bio Bio a couple of weeks ago when we had a free afternoon and an urge to experience something new in Santiago. Chilean friends scared us off of visiting with amusing stories of audacious thefts: Andres tells of a guy who was missing one hubcap. He went to Bio Bio and described what he wanted to the vendor, who said, "Let me go check my warehouse... come back in 30 minutes." After 30 minutes, the guy came back to the vendor, who said, "You're in luck! I had one!" But, when the guy got back to his car... he was missing two hubcaps! But, we decided to risk it -- although, we did leave our wallets at home.

The giant flea market was like a junkier Roots on steroids. The best part was these funny coconuts-like treats I found! Points to anyone who can identify them...
