Viaje a Palparaiso (West Coast of Chile)
Went to the coastal city of Valparaiso to see my friend Franco (acquaintance from Buenos Aires who married a Chilena). The city is very much like an old San Francisco, located on the coast of Chile. It has a large arcing bay surrounded by steep hills.
Seafood, trolleys, hill trams (box cars which travel up and down the hill side...not many left as they age out) and covered in murals.
