First Day in Vina del Mar, Chile


The trip has been grueling, but after all the pain and discomfort, I am in Vina del Mar, Chile! It is exciting and I can only imagine the sorts of things I will experience. I cannot wait to touch, see, taste and hear elements of this country.

The bus ride here from Santiago gave me a sampling of what is to come. New scenes, new flora, interesting fauna and a relaxing new take on the earth and it's possibilities. From the moment we began our descent, I began to admire the mountains and plants Chile has.

Sight-seeing helped me gain a better understanding of the country and it's people. We went past stores (most of which were closed) and found a nifty flea market. I quickly found beautiful crafted items. Later, we strolled down toward the casino and ocean front. We even got ourselves a new acquaintance - a stray dog Marquis affectionately named Sergio. I took lots of pictures of the shore and the inspiring and thought-provoking biblical quotes on large boulders stacked on the shore. We all must've been in agreement that this spot was undeniably relaxing and intriguing. We got some group photos and great laughs in there.

Overall, this day went well!


I look forward to getting up tomorrow, touring Santiago and, most of all, meeting more Chileans.


Signing off,

Briana, in Chile
