Valparaiso, Chile

We checked out of our hotel (Meridiano Petit Sur) and took a taxi to the bus station, where we got on a TurBus ($5 each!) to Valparaiso, Chile.  It was about an 1-1/2 hour trip but was non-stop and very comfortable.  Once there, we grabbed a taxi, which took us to our new hotel for one night (Hotel Latitude 33 Sur).  We dropped our luggage off and headed out to explore this eclectic city!  Richard commented that the entire city was a canvas!   The city was built on a hillside next to the Pacific Ocean, and there were murals everywhere! 

This is an artist's Mecca!   This is a place I would definitely recommend seeing....skip Santiago and  come here!
