Chile part 3, Vina del Mar

After we finished our tour of Valparaiso, we continued along the beach, for about 10 minutes, max, and we were in a very modern beachfront community called Vina Del Mar. We had lunch in a yummy restaurant with Hugo and his dad, who drove us around, Renee. It was lovely.
The Pacific ( Do you know it means peaceful in Spanish) Ocean is very cold in Chile. The Humbolt Jet Stream, which comes by way of Antartica, moves through the water here and it is always cold. Natasha told us that she has always wanted to travel to Antartica. Knowing her, if she really wants to, she will go someday!
This photo shows the hillside in Vina del Mar. It is super modern. Such a difference from Valparaiso!


This is my crazy daughter, checking out the water! The rest of us put our toes in!
