Finally got our car out and headed to Pomaire, 40 minutes east of Santiago. The overcast made us feel good about taking a day off sightseeing instead of skiing.
A bartender a couple nights ago told us about Pomaire, a tiny town with tons of pottery. Since we were super early, we got there before everything open up.
Watch your head if you are over 5 feet tall.
They love avocados so much here that they named a street after them.
After we learned about O’Higgins in Rancagua, we have been a little obsessed by him.
Around noon more stores started to open up, we kind of figured that it was in the middle of the winter and probably not the peak season for them. The owners is probably at home playing video games.
I wanted one of these piggy banks, but I don’t want to have to break it to get my money out.
Very awesome empanada for lunch!
When we felt we had seen Pomaire, we made our way over to Valparaiso. The driver said he needed to pull over to “take a leak”. I asked him to stop somewhere with a nice view so I could take photos.
Thank You!
Valparaiso is the second largest city in Chile, located on a hill off the coast. Kind of the San Fransisco of California.
We had an ice cream and headed back to Barrio Bellavista for dinner and our last night out.
We were pretty stoked that we stayed up close to 1am, until we walked by this huge line to get into the nightclub… We were ready to hit the bed while everyone else just got in line to continue party for another 4 hours.
Since I don’t have the patient to stop for a second and put the letters in the correct order when I read things, I thought this guy was promoting his album Retardo Iluminado.
This painting outside out room has been creeping me out the last few nights.
