I am stoked to be back in the beautiful Valparaiso, although I struggled to navigate the maze of narrow and jumbled streets to find my friends house. We went out last night for some beers, and even though it was Monday, I saw lots of people out. Might be because all students are on summer holidays. The plan for the day, enjoy the stellar weather on the beach!

My friends house is located in the midst of the house-covered hills, with all sort of improvised architecture that gives Valparaiso its unique charm. It is mind blowing to walk through the streets and marvel at all the graffiti, houses in all colors and forms, impressively packed so tightly together in the steep hills surrounding Valparaiso. No need to say that the pace of life is more relaxed and down-to-earth here, but it is also a city of many universities, hence lots of students and a good atmosphere for drinks and beers.

I am also given some first class advice on my trip south, and I will post the preliminary itinerary shortly.
