Valparaiso

Only 2 weeks left until I depart south to Chile! I could not be more excited. Of course it has been fun prepping (and shopping) for my trip, but I'm anxious to get things moving. I recently found out I will be placed in the city of Valparaiso which is a gorgeous coastal city in the mid-country region. It is one of the most important seaports in the country and it is full of colorful houses and beaches! I'm definitely glad I'm going to be by water so I'll at least feel a little like home. Some of the pictures actually remind me of the Port of Seattle. I don't have any set plans yet, but I definitely want to do some traveling to all areas of Chile as well as Machu Picchu, Peru and Buenos Aires, Argentina while I'm in the area. Stay tuned!
