First Trip to Valpo/Vina

---

We took our first trip to Vina del Mar and Valparaiso today. We will definitely be returning often! I love the house I live in and my school but I will always be a city girl and being there made me want to move. We started to the day at our parent's home where their son lives now with his wife and Martin, who is 1 yr 8 months. So cute! Then we went about the processof trying to obtain our Chilean identification cards. After visiting 2 police stations to acquire the paperwork we arrived at the indentification place and found 100 people in line ahead of us. So, in es lo que hay po fashion, we left and decided to finish the process another day. It was too beautiful outside and we were too hungry to wait in the Chilean version of the DMV. Delicious seafood and a nap on the beach followed.
