Stay Tuned.......

Tomorrow we are traveling, so please check back for more stories and pictures from our Saturday Travels. (As well as this weekend).

Friday - ValParaiso Adventure

Today we decided that we would explore the steepest part of ValParaiso. ValParaiso's Hills (Cerros) go fairly high, and we have not walked all the way to the top yet. So after class we had lunch, and then set out to hike up one of the hills to the top of ValParaiso. As you climb higher and higher into these hills the poorer the people get and the more run-down the houses are. So please take a look at what we experienced today, and the beautiful views we took in. (A taste of the poorest part of ValParaiso, and possibly one of the poorest parts in Chile.)

In some parts of the hill, there are no paved road. It is too steep and too poor.
