Viña del Mar Day 1

We woke up at 6:30 Sunday morning and packed everything up before leaving to catch the metro back to the airport to meet the rest of our group and take a bus to Valparaíso.





While on the bus we listened to the Bourne Identity some more and ate the apple that we paid $153 for.




After an hour and a half to two hours we arrived to the Catholic University in Valparaíso where we met our mamá and papá (Gloria and Pablo). They drove us to their house in Viña del Mar where we met their son (also named Pablo). We walked around town with Pablito a little bit before having lunch and meeting their neighbors that are always over (Cumba and Carlitos). They also have a little dog named Cleo that makes pig sounds when she wants attention.














Our host family is great. They are so kind and accomodating. Gloria makes us great food and makes sure that we feel comfortable and at ease and have fun. The family jokes around a lot and laughs. We have our own room with a large bed and a door that locks. We've been having lots of fun with them.

  1. That looks like a really nice place to stay! What a funny dog in a little knit sweater.

    Did you get that apple in the States? That picture cracks me up.

  2. haha no the apple was from a supermarket in santiago... turns out its actually WALMART!!! under a different name. so we refuse to shop there now.
    Want to hear a funny story? today when the joshua came home from school he came into our room to hug me, and the doggie followed him. When we looked down at at her, she had taken off her sweater and collar and was totally naked! It was hilarious. And funny to us that she really looked naked, because she's always dressed here.
