First Night Out

This next post comes more than twelve hours after, however I can still hear my ears ringing at this point. Last night was my first trip out and about and what a way to start it off. First we went to a little pub/bar in Valpo with my brother his girlfriend and his friend. A few bottles of fruit wine (kind of like sangria) later we were ready to head out. At this point the gringos thought we were heading to a club for a while and then home. It wasnt until we got to the Casino that we realized exactly where we were going. Inside the casino is a club called Ovo that is hands down the classiest place I've ever partied. It looked like a high rollers club in Vegas and the security guys were only letting people in who were on the list. However, my brother was able to get us all in, and for free none the less. Last night was sponsored by one of the ski resorts so there was a ton of fake snow around everywhere, and at one point it even started "snowing" on the dance floor. Kinda reminded me of SHSTC christmas carol but thats beside the point. This place was packed and even though the drinks were super expensive it was an unreal experience. By about 3:30 we were ready to go, so we came home and crashed. A quick four hour cat nap and I was back up for the group tour of Valparaiso. The first stop was the Valparaiso home of Pablo Neruda. Wow did that guy know how to live life. He designed his house with so many intricate details, each one revolving around his passion for fun and entertainment. Not to mention that his house is perched on top of a hill overlooking all of the city and the coast. When we left Neruda's house we took a walk all around the hills of Valpo. We hopped in and out of churches and hostals, stopping along the way to check out the unbelievable wall murals. Those artists have some amazing talent. After checking out some local artisans work, we took a funicular similar to the cable car in Pittsburgh, down the hill and stopped for lunch. A brief boat tour of the harbor followed, but at that point the weather had turned a little raw and everyone was freezing. All in all an awesome day exploring the city of Valpo. Es arte y todo el mundo debe saber que los murales pueden estar importante.
