valparaiso is a really mad place...mad people....mad houses...mad vibe. it has a quirky charm. its definatly a place that could dicribe my personality. it has a downtown... and a residential area up on a hill... there is no order to houses or streets... every house is different and there is street art and grafitti everywhere... definatly my favourite town so far.
you could spend hours walking around the streets on the hill. its like a massive art exibition... i probly only got to see a tiny fraction of all the art . but it still blew my mind. Valparaiso is one of the street art capitals of the world.. there are no laws prohibiting graffiti and the town is infact a world heritage site...
everyone should see this place...
i spent a few days here... longer than initially planned. but hey. the first couple of days i spent exploring the surrounding beaches of vina del mar and renarca... these are up market beach resort towns... they have no real soul but apparently in summer the beaches are full of people...
the next few days i met up with a guy i met in mendoza..pablo. i stayed in his house thing and we went out to a punk club... good music... the clash and some good ska and such and also some heavy chillian punk... good times.
from valpo i had to catch the bus 3 hours up north to a coastal town called la serena. i overslept slightly and nearly missed it. i arrived here in la serena yesterday morning at 5:30. the hostel was closed so i waited in reception until it opened.
spent yesterday missioning to find waves... i got on a bus and said... playa por favor (beach please) the driver said which one. i said anyone so he dropped me off at this random empty shit beach with fokol waves... i named it fokol... there were some seagulls. i was tired so i fell asleep.. woke up really sandy
