Vamos a la playa


Today my tias and I made one more final trip to the beach, this time to Valparaíso/Viña del Mar which is just west of Santiago. We did the miner´s cart thing again to the top of a hill to check out the scene over the port and some touristy browsing. Then to this huge garden/concert arena place in the middle of the city where they have an annual 5-day festival in February that apparently every Chilean attends every year. Since it was a lull time we got to walk the grounds, see cool trees from all over the world and tour the museum. After this we sprawled out on the beach until we couldn´t stand the heat and took cover under the shade with these tasty pineapple/icecream combo delicacies straight from heaven (only 2 bucks). I include a pic of me on the beach in case you don´t believe that I am actually living the life. If you ever find yourself in the area, I definitely recommend this city.
Alright, so tomorrow night I head back to the great northwest (cue the countdown music). Although I will remember my family and the places here fondly as I have recorded them in this blog for you, I am ready to head home to drink some real coffee, see some familiar faces and actually talk when I have something to say instead of letting the conversation pass by while I try to find the right words with this elementary vocabulary. Thanks for following me through this journey and I hope to see or hear from everyone once I am back in Seattle. Que lo pases bien.
