chilly in Chile

Early morning today. We were tourists. Tourists in the fact that we were awake and involved in society before noon. The culture here is very different. Nothing is open until later in the after noon and very late into the evening. College town, anyone? 

Our venture today took us about one hour. We viewed la Isla Negra, the town and the house of Pablo Neruda. Absolutely stunning house on the Pacific Coast. Definitely an inspiration for a house in my future! The way he captured views of the ocean and made every room in the house have a story was moving. Ready to make some big bucks as an architect and build one of my own! ;) 


Today we also ventured to Valparaiso, a city on a hill. Literally. Houses were stacked on top of one another all the way up the hill. It was very interesting. Get to know your neighbors really well. Not sure how they address things...
