Valparaiso

DSC05390 The port is in an awesome bowl of land with mountains heading down to the sea. At one point it was the busiest port in South America but the Panama Canal nicely shafted it.

DSC05400 The bridge leads to an ascensor (lift) to take you down to the other part of town.

DSC05402 They get everywhere...

DSC05407 Sunglasses and Xmas decorations. What's wrong?

DSC05409 Election campaigning Chilean style. The Chilean spin doctors obviously decided subtlety was best left to other countries. Kara is working on posters like this for her dad's next campaign...

DSC05411 Lots of old, graceful buildings. This belongs to the Chilean Navy. When approximately 50% of your living space is sea front, you take the navy quite seriously.

DSC05421 Street scene. Doesn't quite convey how fast they are all moving.

DSC05426 For 3 pound each, we had a two course meal. This was our main course. Chocca full of sea food.

DSC05447 Typical view here.

DSC05452Dinner with Celiane and Fabian.


DSC05462 Food market. This is just one stall. There were about 50 like this.

DSC05466Fish, luverly fish. We've seen lots of stalls like this in Chile.
