Valparaiso Day 1
After arriving in Valparaiso and resting from our long and harrowing journey we set out to explore the city. Valparaiso is a colorful jumble of houses stretching across a set of coastal hills. This port was once one of the richest cities in the world but a hundred years ago its wealth dried up and the city fell into disrepair. A decade or so ago the area was rediscovered by Chileans and foreign tourists who were drawn to its charm and mystery. The streets wind and climb the hills splitting and rejoining to form a labyrinth of sorts.
Annie's Birthday Party
After our trip from hell (see the other entry for today) we arrived at Annie's birthday party! Hangar steak marinated and grilled, macaroni and cheese from scratch and green beans made a very satisfying conclusion to our long and harrowing day.
Good friends, good food and long lost family make for a great time.
