The Photographer's Muse - and she wasn't even posing!

I can't remember exactly which day I took these pictures. I did it because I wanted to have some evidence of how beautiful Santiago can be, but to do that you need to catch it right after it has rained, when all the pollution has been washed away.
Well, it had rained for a couple of days, so I thought it was the perfect time to get my camera out and wander around one of the nicest areas of the city, which happens to be right where I work. The romantic twist of the story is that while walking and taking pictures, I decided to start asking in the different buildings if they had anything for rent - Paul and I had been looking since March, and we really wanted to move near work - and in one of the buildings they told me they had a flat available that ticked all the boxes. I decided to have a look at it, and when I walked in and saw the view I thought "I've found us a flat" which is exactly what I said to Paul 5 minutes later over the phone, when I asked him to come and see the flat.
Anyway, here's Santiago...

As it turned out, Mosqueto is our road, and this is our Metro stop.
 Waiting for the company bus at 07:30 in the morning |  It had rained recently, so the mountains are quite clear. This was taken from my taxi on the way back to the centre. |
Until yesterday, I worked one-to-one with a student at APL Logistics on Wednesday and Friday mornings. Pudahuel is in the middle of nowhere, but the English Connection paid well. The student had good coffee too.
