"Spring" Break pt. 2: Valparaiso

What to say of Valparaiso...

It was heaven on earth. I was always really excited to go because I knew Pablo Neruda had an amazing house there, but it wasn't prepared for the rest of the city. It's all built on the side of a steep hill, so all the streets are really steep and twisted and narrow.

We didn't do too much there, other than walk around, shop, and eat. But that's all we really needed to do. It was amazing just to be able to wander and find new things. The whole city was like a maze, and every corner had something new and interesting. Just walking down a street we ran into performers, demonstrations, and even an impromptu fashion show.

I'm just going to let the pictures speak for themselves.

oooh funny colored steps! So are all the children there starving in ditches like TV makes them out to be, or are they happy and healthy but lacking in so many material possessions?
