Aaron wanted to see the coast during his visit to Chile, so we hopped on a $6 bus and wandered to one of the hostels that was recommended in Alex's guidebook. We didn't really know what we were getting into -- but luckily our hostel ended up being amazing. You can see our excitement about landing a place in the center of the city with a private bedroom, a relatively clean bathroom, and free breakfast!

The rest of our short time in Valparaíso included free drinks at a five-story club, tons of walking up and down hills, eating some amazing seafood while listening to live guitar music, stumbling upon some cueca performances (the national dance of Chile that's modeled after the mating ritual between roosters and hens -- no joke), and taking a nap in a sunny park. All in all, a success.
Aaron may have a lot of Argentinean pride, but don't let him tell you he doesn't love Chile!
I do love Chile!! despite my celeste and white pride
