MEMORABLE HOLIDAYS

I remember going to Valparaíso and Viña del Mar, two years ago. I was starting a relationship with my boyfriend and one day he said “why we don’t go to Valpo?”. Best idea ever. We went with just a backpack and a few pesos to the terminal, just after looking for a place in booking.com. The days were awesome, we cannot ask for a better weather in July. Sunny days, few people in the streets. We stayed in Viña, which was better than Valparaíso because it is less dirty. We discovered a nice bar near the hostel, they serve some delicious empanadas filled with cream cheese and shrimp tail, with a touch of ciboulette. We even met a guy from Pakistan, Ishmael, he was selling incense for a living (two years later we found him in Santiago begging for money, he was not doing very well). We went to Valparaíso, looking for a good place to eat seafood. The city is nice albeit a little dirty, but the worst part was going uphill to see the bay, it was too tall and I was too scared. You can see my scared face in the photos! Anyway, it was just a weekend, but it was one of the best weekends in my life.
