Pomaire-poquito fome

Pomaire. This is a small town outside of Santiago. Just an hour south of town, its 4 main streets are full of santiaguinos on the weekends. The clay abundant soil of the surrounding hills allows for the pottery industry to continue to thrive here. Every shop is either sells pottery or is a restaurant. Other than being a giant tourist trap, the quality of the pottery is very high. The restaurants here are decent, but when you come for an afternoon the only choice is to eat/shop. We chose to eat.
This place makes empanadas that weight about a kilo. get stoked. Various gringos in this picture who live on alberto magno (my street). Most are from saint joseph's u. Also in this picture is my host mom and another host mom.
