Ok, so last night (New Years Eve) we spent in Vina del Mar. We got there around noon and spent most of the day on the beach, eating, and walking around, oh and gambling. Sitting on the beach, one could see the barges that were out in the water with the fireworks on them ready for the night. I swear, there were at least 10 barges and they were spead out over about a mile from Valparaiso to Vina del Mar.Vina is known for having this casino there. well, i couldnt resist and of course sat down at the blackjack table. lady luck was with me as i quickly walked away with about $40. Brian got jealous, decided he wanted to play so of course i did it with him, and quickly pulled in another $15 while he lost $20. Later, they opened up the craps table, and once again i won another $15...and brian lost.
The fireworks display was amazing. you could see them shooting off as far as you could see. you didnt know where to look.
that night we caught a bus back to santiago at 3:30 in the morning. now, as i write this, we are planning and packing for what will certainly be the most rediculous 2 months of my life...
In the pictures we have:
Row 1: all of us in Vina del Mar, our friend Michelle ready to shoot off whatever that thing is, and me dancing at this restaurant we went to the other day where they do typical chilean dance performances.
Row 2: the five of us at the irish bar for my birthday, 2 shots of Fernando Ganzolez tennis match
Row 3: Gonzalez again, several of us on top of the "mountain" behind our school with santiago in the background, and a shot of some of the mountains from our school.
