Wow this place is amazing! Its such a lovely beach town, we are in Valparaiso and we went today to the other beach town Vina del Mar. Valparaiso is very rustic, old and really bohemian, kinda like Santa Cruz or San Francisco and Vina del Mar is like Miami beach, very commercial or somewhere in SoCal. Wow, it is so amazing, we walked everywhere, ate really great seafood, and layed on the beach drinking mate mate mate. Or atleast I did! Haha. And the fruit is soooo fresh, no wonder we get our fruit from here. Tomorrow we are headed home...i´m really sad! I have to live in Chile one day! I really love it. I was walking on the street and some local asked me if my family was from here, he really could tell that I had some Chilean heritage! I have never gotten that before, it´s always...where are you from you look so exotic? So cool! Anyway, they have a really cool traditional drink here called Mote Huesillo, its dehydrated peach, with peach juice and then corn and you eat and drink it, really rich. Then there is Steven´s favorite: pineapple juice with pineapple ice cream haha! Really good when you have been on the beach all day frying up! Then we also drank this concauction that our new Chilean friend made: a green melon, scoop out the inside put in white wine, sugar, the pulp, and pineapple sorbet, throw it in the freezer and one hour later you got a great summer drink to share with everyone soooooooo good! i´m going to bring it back to Cali. Anyway, we leave tomorrow at 8 am for a 24 hour busride. Tomorrow is Steven´s bday, I feel awful that we will be travelling for it so we are going to get a traditional Chilean drink right now to celebrate: Pisco Sour. Anyway, I will write when I arrive after my day´s travels.
Love you all!
Love la Chilena,
