Sunday

Saturday night we went to this 80s dance party in a neighborhood that reminded me of Adams Morgan.  Our professor and assistant went (they actually gave us the idea) and it was really fun.  There was even a Donna Summers impersonator (we were all hoping she would be a man but she definitely wasn't).

Sunday we left Santiago.  We drove about an hour and a half to Isla Negra.  Driving through the countryside was really pretty. 

In Isla Negra we stopped at the beach for a little bit and then went to another Pablo Neruda house.  This one was really cool but I'm pretty sure there is no way he didn't have aspergers.  His houses are FILLED with endless collections of random things.

After that we came to Valparaiso.  It's such a cool city.  It's built around a port up into some mountains.  The houses are all different and really colorful.  There's also a ton of graffiti everywhere but it's all really artsy and beautiful.

 

That night we got settled into our Bed and Breakfast (which we are taking up every room in) and our professor went out to get us food.  She got us Chinese food and then realized we didn't have any plates to eat off us so the lady at the Chinese plates let her take some chipped ones from the back.  The food was so good.  Oddly Chile is really famous for it's Chinese take-out.
