On Saturday morning, we went Downtown to see the changing of the guard. Susie recalled years ago, she and Dad would take the kids Downtown every Saturday to see this, it was really a big deal. The changing of the guard happens every 2 days and begins with a parade that ends at the back of the Presidential Palace. There is some ceremony to exchanging the guards - once you enter, you stay in at the Palace for your 2 days of duty before the next group comes in to take over watch.
There were a couple of police with their police dogs, the dogs are so cute, they wear little bandanas around their necks that say "Los Cabineros de Chile" (Chilean Police)
It's hard to believe this is done so often, it seems like so much work. It was nice to see a memorable tradition like the changing of the guard.
its happen only in Chile......
