Pomaire

Today we headed for a day trip to Pomaire a pottery town located just outside smoggy Santiago. The town is well known for its streets and streets of pottery but also for the 1 kilo and 1/2 kilo empanadas that they sell. As soon as well arrived we were attacked by people trying to get us into their cafes for the half a kilo empanada sensation. We picked one and did the touristy thing and ordered one.


As i tried to cut through the empanada expecting to find an egg and olive which is normal, i cut into bone which turned out to be a chicken leg inside the empanada. Very interesting. I couldn't finish mine but they were still good. After that we roamed the many streets looking at pottery which all turned out to look rather similar in the end. We both bought one or two things and then headed back.
