So, we were super stoked to explore the glorious seaside city of Valparaiso, but little did we know the highlight of our day trip would be waiting for us on the TurBus. A lovely group of Kiwis was also on our bus! We spent all day with them, exploring the incredible street art on the hills of Valpo during our Tours for Tips walking tour. Our guide was exceptional, educating us about the history of Valpo and the pros/cons of Valparaiso being a UNESCO protected site. A hideous glass cube on top of an old building highlights one of the travesties that occurred prior to the UNESCO protection. Marsky also continued her habit of stepping in dog pooh and I definitely tripped multiple times on the terrible roads. I was particularly stoked to try a submarino, which is chocolate dunked in a glass of milk...Epic!
After our tour, we returned back to the Bellavista neighborhood to grab a bite and have a couple of drinks. The pisco happy hour special was simply too amazing to pass up so we literally were the the last people in the bar to leave. So amazing! I cannot wait for them to come to the states so we can show them around. We made plans to cook dinner the next day and continue our binge on the sweet Santiago life with our Kiwis.
Besos,

P.S. You are welcome dear Kiwis that you now know what a real San Francisco burrito and were able to experience the beauty of a nice Corona. We cannot wait for you to come visit!
