Rhonda AKA MOM This alls sounds so cool and Pia sounded like a bonus in your visit to Valparaiso!

Meggypoo Sounds amazing! Our new neighbor's name is Pia. Couch Surfing sounds fun. What' a Youtube party?

mommashook AWESOME!

devan correction: The beach was a 20 minute trip away NOT 20 hours

Mama Rhonda It's so nice to keep up with your journey through your blog. The stars had to have been a highlight.

Devan Glad you are enjoying it. I am afraid I made a few spelling mistakes but that can only be expected when attempting to write a blog after hiking an active volcano and with a few beers in your belly.

mommashook I laughed out loud about containing the gas - so true. Can't wait for the next post.

Rob I sympathise completely; three hours sleeping on my bag in the terminal was plenty enough time for me in Calama!

mommashook That is a good story. Hope there aren't too many more like this though.

mommashook I'll have to look up nitrate house online. Never heard of that before. Listen to your friend who posted to stay away from certain places at night while in Valpraiso. Be safe first. Love, me.
