Valparaiso
15.05.2010
Today was a really fun day for the gang. We took a two hour drive to Valparaiso which is on the coast. We took a bus tour and got to walk around the city near the port for a couple hours. It was a beautiful city. We went up a couple trollies and Jake was too tall for them, haha. There was a lot of graffiti throughout the city, but it was really pretty graffiti. Jake and Brett went up to the ocean and stuck their hands it. They said it was freezing! We caught Dr. Stephens enjoying the ocean and beach too!
We have made friends with lots of stray dogs this weekend (like Pedro), but we haven't had any repercussions... until today. Brittany stepped in fresh turd. It smelled awful! Her poor keds....
Our hostess MJ lives in this city and has been commuting to Santiago. After the bus tour, we went to a Yacht Club for lunch. The appetizers were so good! I think everyone could have eaten those appetizers for hours. After our lunch, we had some free time. The boys all went to the casino and the girls went to little markets along the beach. Unfortunately, the gents in this blog group didn't have the best luck at the casino.
And now we are going to a discoteca in Bella Vista. Adios!
