Last night my friend Shivani and I went walk around one of the main streets of Viña. It was really cool because I finally found a beach and it over looks the ocean/bay. (Check out google maps or earth if that confuses you) From the Viña side of the bay you can see all of Valpo which is beautiful at night. I{ll have some amazing pictures.

Before that I told my brother that I wanted to see the son ending (I didn{t know the word for sunset) so we walked out to the wharf, (not the marina they are diff. apparently) and walked on this path along the water. Oh p.s. I totally saw sea lions!

Here are some facts (hechos) about my trip in general. (en general or generalmente)

1. We are a grand group of 14 Tulae students.
2. There is very little central heating in Chile.
3. Their graffitti is very cool. I{m collecting an album of graffitti pictures alone.
4. The absolutely love avacado (la plata) and eat it on bread, in sandwiches, and on their special hotdog (el completo).
5. Mi mama is divoriced, but her ex has been at our house to hang out 3 times already. Divorce just became legal here in the past 1 or 2 years.
6. I take a 5 minute bus to the Casa Central each day that costs 290 pesos (530 pesos to the dollar) The ride to Viña is 15 or 20 and costs 400 pesos.
7. They eat their big meal at 2ish and around 8 they have bread with avacado, honey, or butter.
8. Valpo is about an 1.5 hour bus ride from Santiago, the capitol, in the interior of the country.
9. It{s winter here. Last night at 2 a.m. it was 8° C or about 46° F.
10. Each hill (cerros) has a different name. I live on la plana or the flat part near the water but near Cerros Alegre y Cerros Concepcion. The have elevator or sideways elevation type devices that hope you up part of the way for 100 or 200 pesos.

Choi!
