Mom and Pops in Santiago

My mom and dad arrived in Santiago this morning. It is very nice to see them and I am glad they are able to visit. Getting to and from the airport, as well as getting them into their accomodations, was interesting and tiring. Warning: a run-on sentence follows immediately. First I had to take the Metro during rush hour downtown to find the bus stop for the airport bus, which was not where it was advertised to be (Los Heroes, not La Moneda), then find the correct bus, then fight off aggressive taxi services who wanted my business and who speak horrible english and are more difficult to understand in English than they are in Spanish, then wait for their late flight to arrive, then find the least obnoxious taxi service, then go to the hotel I recommended, then find out that the hotel is overbooked, then get them to the new hotel, then navigate the neighborhood where they are which is not where I wanted them to stay and will make sure they change next time, then walk for 15 min through downtown Santiago to find a place to eat lunch while making sure my mom and dad's wallets do not get lifted, then eat lunch which was excellent by the way, and then take the Metro back to the apartment in rush hour. There is never a dull moment here, and though it is exciting, it also tires me out. I am taking a short rest at the apartment before gathering my books to head over to PUC to study tonight. I really need to hit the books. Maybe I'll have a quick beer before I go, what do you think? Do I deserve it after such a busy day?
