Scenes from a Chilean rest area

Here are some snapshots from a rest area on the Pan American Highway near Temuco.  We stopped by this morning on our way to dropping off Neil's parents at the airport.  

Note how on Chilean-style hamburgers the mayonnaise layer is as thick as the meat.  That's avocado, not lettuce, under the mayo.


Showers are available for 500 pesos (about a dollar).


These prehistoric looking birds (the equivalent of Canadian Geese?), pecked peacefully by the exit. 


We resisted the call of these donuts.  Should we have tried them?


In contrast, we could not resist the wine the other day at our lunch stop in Central Chile, right on the Pan Americano.  We had delicious salmon tartare, seafood salad, and steak sandwiches -- definitely a cut above I-95.
