The next weekend, I asked Gabriella to take me to see the beaches were were fairly close to us; only about 1 1/2 hours away by bus. She told me to gather up my warm clothes because it might be cold there(seasons are reversed so US summer is SA winter) We boarded a very comfortable bus(reminded me of the sleeper buses in Peru) and headed for the beach!

From Vina del Mar, we hopped on a local bus and went about 10 miles down the road to Valparaiso, one of the country's most important seaports...
