We were more than a little startled, while visiting Santiago’s Museo Nacional de Historia, to find just what the curators consider worth remembering…such as the standard mid-century paper punch above. No April Fooling!
Of course, the museum, located on the Plaza de Armas at the center of Santiago, also has a much wider range of artifacts and exhibits tracing Chile’s history from colonial times to (nearly) the present. It’s located in the 1808 Royal Courthouse, facing the center of the square.
Rethymno is a rare combination of history and modern-day luxury, with its multicultural old town, tropical beaches and exquisite Cretan cuisine.
