We want beach!!

---

I had an open week between two of my finals so rather than taking the free time to study, my friend and I decided to beach it. I met her at her house with a backpack filled with a bathing suit, book and flipflops. We went to the bus station said, "ok, so where is somewhere cheap, close and on the beach??". We ended up taking buses from one little beach town to the next, most of which werent too exciting to be completely honest. We ended up staying in Concón and Horcon, since there really wasn't anything around there we went to our regular stomping ground- Viña del Mar y Valparaiso. There are pictures in here from that little get away along with some other random pictures from my time here.

Terraza
What we decided was one of the only good things about Concon, our terraza. We sat talking as we watched the sunset, ate a block of cheese with bread and a few bottles of wine. thats the life...

Neverending Road
We walked from one town to another on the beach but at one point decided to walk up a mountain of stairs and check out the town that we had ended up in... this is the town. Kind of resembles the road in the Wizzard of Oz, no?

Flores
The town was basically just fields that went on forever. Something I love about Chile- beautiful flowers in all colors pop up in the most random areas.

Mooooooo
This was bizarre... cows on the beach. This is on the shore. It was cool besides the fact that the beach didnt smell that great.

Amigos
Two of my really good friends, Jorge and Rene, that are leaving back to Mexico in a few weeks!! :(

Carrete de Gorros
Hat Party (good theme huh?)! ¨Carrete¨ is Chiles equivilent to fiesta. Everyone in South America says that Chile has its own spanish, which is soo true- words, phrases, etc. that only people that live in Chile understand.

Carrete
We like to party... we like, we like to party...

No taxi? No problem.
Hitch hiked home after a night out. There was not a taxi in sight.

La Vega
The huge fruit/veggie market that goes on everyday in el centro. You can literally find ANYTHING here! Love it!

Hanging out at the house before going out.

Caballo
We found a horse on the way home, I wanted to go on a horseback ride since they are not in my backyard anymore...

Miss You a lot
Hey Mac, Hope you are ok from the earthquake (worried). Saw these pictures and the other photos posted on Facebook. You look great and seem that you have settled very well in Chile.
