i'm glad you've been enjoying yourselves in chile. it's too bad you didn't like valparaiso. i think it's the best city in chile, with its funky murals, winding alleys, crazy houses, and the "you never know what's around the next corner" feeling. but i guess it's not for everyone. by the way, the doughy food you ate is called sopaipillas, made with pumpkin dough. good with jam and tea. cheers, and enjoy the rest of your time in latin america.

Just one of those things! All the best James, thanks for the comment! Ryan
