Returning from the airport on our last trip we asked Carlos, our taxi driver, what people in Santiago do for Semana Santa (Holy Week), and for Easter. He paused a long time and then said, "Umm.... pack up and go to the beach?"
Since apparently there's nothing of note going on in Santiago that we should stick around for, and we had an offer from J's colleague to join their family in Algarrobo...... we are packing up our Easter bunnies and heading to the beach! We decided spontaneously last night at 10pm and are leaving today at noon--that is, if we can nail down a rental car. Our normal online reservation scheme wasn't coughing anything up last night.
Given Chile's 2653 miles of coastline, it's only reasonable to dedicate a visit to it. Our only beach time so far has been an hour or two on the sand after prowling the illustrated streets of Valparaiso. So--barring any unexpected tidal waves--we'll be back on Monday morning.
We are stoked. Aloha, dude! (Oh wait, wrong beach lingo....)
