Valparaiso, quick and dirty..

Although, we only managed to spend 24 hours in Valparaiso- we definately made the most of it.

This coastal port had lots of character. The houses were painted with every different color of the rainbow, the steep and curvy streets were littered with creative murals and there seemed to be quaint little cafes on every corner.

We spent the entire day exploring the city- appreciating the ocean views from the hilltop. For lunch we ate at a cafe that only served one dish which consisted of french fries, scrambled eggs, onions and steak.. well, at least the atmosphere was good.


The rest of the evening was pretty uneventful. Derek and I got toasty at a local bar- just down the street from our hostel (Hostel Yoyo is just like a bedbug farm by the way).. quite fun but not conducive to our 7am wakeup the next day to catch our bus to Mendoza. The only food we could locate was a "Completo"... I hope to God that I never eat another hotdog at 7am..
