Valparaiso

Sunday we rented a car and headed to Valparaiso--on the coast about 2 hrs from Santiago.  Valparaiso is a colorful and vibrant town that is best known for its street art.  Just look at the pictures.....

War memorial for Chilean veterans in Plaza Sotomayor


In Valparaiso, even the cats appreciate the street art.  This cat sauntered out of a nearby doorway, crossed the street, sat down very deliberately in front of this painting and started perusing it up and down, just like your average dude visiting an art museum.  I kid you not.



And of course, the odd bar with advertisements in English......




Our intensive stair climbing of the morning was rewarded by an afternoon at the beach.
