Pucon Flowers & Elections

Just some flowers to brighten your day!

This is a flower stand on a street in called Caupolicán near the wharf in Pucon. Yes, I am still in Pucon having been a week here though I will be heading back to Santiago tomorrow.

Today is an important day for Chile since the country’s president will be decided in this all important second round. Why a second round (like a boxing match)? Well, the first round held in December was between all presidential hopefuls. If no-one gets a 50% majority then voting goes to a second round a month later between the top two candidates of the first round. This time it is between Eduardo Frei and Sebastian Piñera. It’s hard to say who will win today, it’s going to be very close.
