Continuing the theme of the vacation photo blog:
 |
| My parents went to the coast when they were here in October and recommended driving north to the wealthy town of Zapallar. It was lovely. |
 |
| We walked along the beach and behind several mansions all equipped with helicopter pads. |
 |
| We met some Americans who suggested this restaurant one town south on the beach. The kids rebelled against yet another meal of fish but we enjoyed it. |
 |
| perhaps the Pisco helped..... |
 |
| or the cortado? |
 |
| The restaurant was next to an island with a colony of penguins - Humboldt, I believe. |
 |
| A close up with bad resolution - they are really there! |
 |
| This one is for Grandma - continued use of past Hanukkah gifts - yes, they are Lands End |
 |
| Very dated aparthotel pool - it worked for hours of entertainment |
 |
| Everybody on their "i"-things in the one place with an internet connection |
 |
| Day 4 - the beach/boardwalk in Vina del Mar - it felt like a resort that was. The sand sculptures were great. |
 |
| The jesters playing the accordion were creepy. |
 |
| The gringos couldn't get over the relatively cold beach temperatures. |
 |
| This guy has been making sand sculptures in this exact spot for five years. Must be lucrative or a lot of fun. He said that he is interested in ice sculptures but hasn't found his venue yet ;-) |
Still really enjoying reading all your adventures. Anita and I were thinking about coming to visit. When are you staying till? Is July too late - we are teachers you know...
ReplyDeleteI want a pisco sour
Unfortunately, we are heading home mid-June in order to escape the winter! If you do plan a visit we have a lot of ideas ;-)
ReplyDeletePisco sours have apparently taken over from the mojito craze in the US. Look out for them!
