Hello Folks, I went out last night to the huge gathering of Chilean celebrating the vote this Sunday for the new constitution where many of the greatest Chilean musicians and bands played for half a million people. These people are very positive that the election will go in their way and hope for a new future for all Chileans and for a few left over gringo foreigners like myself and my friends that managed to survive here during the pandemic which came after the year of civil unrest. Enjoy!
There was love in the air.
This is the Santa Lucia Metro entrance just around the corner from where I live.
The music venue was just outside the metro station and had half a million people in attendance.One of the young Chileans that set up next to me and my buddy to listen to the music and enjoy the sights and sounds.
The crowd was constantly on the move. I guess most people could not find a low wall to lean up against like myself?
Street vendors were selling everything from beer to cheap home made moonshine. We got out of there after a few hours and before any problems could surface from all the drinking.
It was a giant sing along of half a million folks.
I do not know who these ladies were but they were up on the stage and people we waving to them.
Iphones still kept people's attentions as they sought to find friends and family in the giant crowd.
Standing room only.
These guys work any large gathering or protest and offer first aid.
Looks like I got spotted taking someone's image.
A woman with her child on a bici(bicycle). I can relate as I travel everywhere via mi 'bici'.
And on the outskirts of the event were the new arrivals to Chile the Venezuelans vending some kind of meat which is illegal here but the police seem not to give a hoot. I am not judging here just observing. They recently started to show up with these mobile cook stations instead of a shopping cart from the locale grocery store(s).
