A quick post to tell you about our excursion to the Chilean coast on Sunday. Vina del Mar is the place where all the Santiago people go for the weekend and/or the summer. (Pictures to follow, hopefully.) It is very charming and a lot like the French or Italian coast. Many people enjoying the beach, sun and water (inspite of the water being very cold). We had a yummy seafood lunch and then onto the port city of Valparaiso. Quite a contrast from Vina del Mar! But familiar in that it reminded us of Tampa with the cruise ships and cargo containers, etc.
We've done very well with our Spanish, but will soon be out of practice when we get on the ship surrounded by English-speaking passengers.
It's 5:00pm on Monday and we are aboard the ship. We've been able to get logged onto the computers and get our email fix (using an American keyboard). Tomorrow is an 'at sea' day so we'll have a chance to explore the ship more and perhaps post some pictures.
Adios!
