VALPARAISO, CHILE 

Sunday January 12th we pulled into Valparaiso, Chile for 2 days. This town is known for its vibrant street art, which is everywhere and truly mask some of the depression seen through out the downtown. Nine of us set off on a walking tour of the highlights. The town is built into the side of the hills looking down over the harbor. Teenagers Lucia and Alionia were the perfect models to highlight the artwork for me, it also kept it fresh for them. 

Snack of Chocolate covered Strawberries. Yummy!

Praying for an Eagles wild card win later in the day!

 Plaza Sotomayor had the Memorail for fallen soldiers and several government buildings & local crafters & artist.

Street Artist at work!

Today we spent on the water. We had signed up for a beach and snorkel trip yesterday and had to move to today because we had tender issues into the port and missed the start time. Today was also looking bleak but the charter waited for us and even sent their tender over to our delayed shuttle and rescued us off so we could join the group waiting for us! It was a fun day, swimming and snorkeling over 4 different beach locations. The water, drinks and sunshine were all great fun!
