Santiago and Valparaiso, Chile

Much to my surprise Santiago is like NYC with mountains. It is big and expensive and there are Dunkin' Donuts on the street corners! Weird! 

After a couple days in Santiago I decided I really needed to go back to Buenos Aires. In the same way Santiago is like NYC, Buenos Aires is like a cool, fashionable European city.  I can go to NYC anytime, I needed more delicious coffee (sorry Dunkin'), croissants (not really per my growing gut, but really) and heaping platters of grilled meat! So off I went to Buenos Aires but not before vising another winery (this is what I am here for after all) and Valparaiso, a beautiful port city.

On the wine tour I found a new buddy, George, a 70 year old guy from Seattle who was in town with his wife who was attending a conference. Small world! The next day I was happy to find him again on the Valparaiso tour, it was nice to talk about Seattle and how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful place while visiting beautiful places. 

A note: I wasn't really aware how much I like graffiti but I really like graffiti hence all the pictures of graffiti. Enjoy!


Kitties! Sleeping! So cute!
