Valparaiso

Valparaiso was pretty interesting.  It's windy roads and back alleyways staircases added a ton of character to the city.  It is a huge port town that has a long history dating back to the 1540s.  I loved the street art and the winding passageways that all seem to curl around the mountain providing an incredible view of the port and sea below.  I didn't really do much here, but wonder the streets, but I get the feeling that this is really all there is to do.  I only stayed 30 hours or so, and am going to board a bus back to Santiago in order to get myself a bus back to Argentina so I can finally visit the jewel of the country: Mendoza.  I have heard really great things, and I am really looking forward to exploring it.  I am running a little heavy on time, so I may stay a while there if it is nice.  We'll have to see what happens.
