Time it was and what a time it was, it was
A time of innocence, a time of confidences
Long ago, it must be, I have a photograph
Preserve your memories, they’re all that’s left you.
(Bookends, Simon & Garfunkel)
After lunch in Mercado central we walk into the less representative part west of the Autoroute 5 running through Santiago. Cecile & Ronni are born, their family has lived here for many years. Passing the church Santa Ana and the metro station Santa Ana we approach Guardia Marina Riquelme.
Nowaday it is run down. Many houses are broken and unoccupied. Few drunken lads lie on the pavement and try to speak to us. But we just ignore them.
