Inside South America a year in pics: Obama's visit to Chile

Inside South America is on vacation. But over the holidays I'll be posting some of my favorite photos from the year.

I took these pics during Obama's visit to Chile in March. While he was generally well-received, the escalating conflict in Libya and the US's role in the rise of PInochet fueled protests. Below, members of Chile's communist party carry a banner depicting President Pinera as Obama's lapdog. 

The other two pics, were simply amusing things I saw after visiting the country's very impressive human rights museum.
