Hotel Andelue Vina del Mar

... astros, a lo lejos."


El viento de la noche gira en el cielo y canta.


Puedo escribir los versos más tristes esta noche.

Yo la quise, y a veces ella también me quiso.


En las noches como esta la tuve entre mis brazos.

La besé tantas veces bajo el cielo infinito.


Ella me quiso, a veces yo también la quería.

Cómo no haber amado sus grandes ojos fijos.

... to CruzVerde (a pharmacy) where mi mama (Margarita) picked us up. We went to the metro station to get our student passes (we get a discount)! When we returned home, we had once, I rested a bit, and then went out in Vina with Margarita, Pablo, and Jenny (his girlfriend). We drove down to el mar (sea) and walked along the beach (playa). The city is so beautiful at night as well. My pictures didn't all turn out as good as I ...

... mentioned that it was near a famous flower clock. So I said "fleur" and pointed at my watch. Vamanos. We forgot to negotiate a cab price (Mendoza cabs had all been on meters and we didn´t notice one in this cab until too late.) At our destination the cabby asked for $3000...Tulli only had $2000 from her Chilean arrival and cabby accepted our bottom line counter offer. The road was closed that led to our hotel, so we got out and walked the final 200m (such good ...

Valparaíso! :) ---------- Au risque de me répéter, Valparaíso est une très belle ville. Je m'y suis promené tranquillement, sans trop prendre de photos, nous (Danna et moi) sommes allés à la plage, nous nous sommes faits des glaces, une petite vie tranquille! :) Une fois Danna retournée à Santiago, il me restait une demie-journée sur place alors je suis allé à la villa de Pablo Neruda à Valparaíso (il en avait 3: Santiago, Valpo et Isla Negra), qui s'appelle La ...

... the hostel I walked to the bus station to sort out my seat for the trip to Santiago tomorrow. I managed to explain in spanish that had a ticket and needed to book a seat. I wandered back towards my hostel. There were street vendors everywhere selling yellow underwear (apparently good luck?), jewellery, masks, fireworks... I took the wrong turn-off trying to get back to the hostel ...

... dunes. the side you have to climb up on is scorching hot and painful...i thought about bringing running shoes just to make it up, but forgot them, so we had to climb up in bare feet (my sandles kept falling off and getting lost beneath the sand), we kept running up as much as we could, and then falling over to take the burning off of our feet and onto our knees. when we got to the top, the other side was so cool and so ...

... such a cute, eclectic hotel! All the walls were painted really fun, key west type colors. There was a nice desayuno (breakfast) and they had tvs where they were playing the Olympics (it was the first time I've been able to watch them since I don't have a tv and it's only really on in the morning). All the people in the hotel were super friendly. And the location of Hotel Agora couldn't be more perfect - one block over from ...

... have begun on the low lying coast but eventually with its growth encompassed the steep hills which almost cocoon the place. The hills have rickety historic carriages going up and down them. This way you don't have to walk up the massive incline of steps. Once I reached the top I was surprised that the fog was only at low level and a better view of the port city itself was had.
