... ham sandwiches everywhere. Being a Jewish vegetarian here would be almost impossible because half the time you don't know what meat is being served. Plus, everything is delicious so why miss out?
Ay, the time flies here. You think it's almost noon and it's 4pm. I want to spend more time in Valparaiso and finally understand why travelers cancel their return tickets and end up staying 10 years longer than originally planned. This sea and these hills have my heart wrapped around ...
Chilly in Chile!
... 8230;..!
We got to the terminal at 6.30am and decided to walk the 12 blocks to the hostel, partly to save some money and partly to stretch our legs!

For reasons we are still a little blurry on, we plant them in a shallow well-soaked hole six inches deep and pile up a mound of compost around them which is covered in plastic sacking. A couple of plastic bottles with the ends cut off are sunk into the mound and through these we feed them nitrate ...
Valparaiso : visite avec Paz
... bien pour mon Espagnol. On a marché, marché, marché ! On a visité le cimetière de Valparaiso, et on a escaladé une haute grille de métal pour atteindre un point de vue superbe.
A 16h, on a mangé une chorillana énorme. Impossible de la finir, même à deux ! Elle insistait pour tout payer, et mes protestations n'avaient guère d'effet !
On a ensuite marché le long de la mer, avant d'aller chez Gaston, à l'autre bout de la ville. Il partait à ...
