Valpariso was great. I went with Vlad, Tim, and our new friend Arjun. Vlad has some friends with an apartment in Vina del Mar (ten min. from Valpo) that we were visiting. Tim, Arjun and I stayed at this pretty cool hostel. Unfortunately, I woke up with a stiff neck!!!! It was awful. However, I didn't panic. I put heat on it right away and stretched. It got better throughout the trip. Anyway, the first day we went to the beach. It was very hot and the water was really cold. I couldn't go in the water because it was WAY too rough, but I waded a little. Then we went to Vlad's friends house and cooked a spectacular dinner and had some good Chilean wine. The next day we went to Pablo Neruda's house...it was really nice.
