I warned you there would be a blogging overload when we got home...and so here it begins! When we got into Santiago, we got our rental car and headed to our first destination, Valparaiso. It is a beach town and very pretty. The city is built on a hill and the roads are very steep. When we looked at the map, the roads all look like curly fries from Arbys...so no wonder it took us over an hour to find our hotel once we got to the city (the one way roads didn't help much either!)
On our second day, we headed to the beach. It was warm enough to lay out, but the water was freezing!! I wanted to get in a swim so bad...but I could barely put my toes in!!! It was colder than Bear Lake in May!! We left the beach, drove around the city for awhile, and went to dinner. The rental car we had was pretty cheap. The ONLY way to get into the trunk was with the key (you couldn't even put the back seats down to get into the trunk. So, us being the stupid travelers we are stuck our back pack in the trunk. When we came out from dinner less than an hour later, everything was gone, EXCEPT our passports! Luckily, whoever took our bag left them on the passenger seat of the car for us! They stole: 2 Ipods, my Iphone, watch, clothes, travel documents my debit cards (and used them 3 times for over $300 dollars), medicine, my drivers license...and so on! Luckily we had travel insurance that will cover the items stolen! Needless to say...we thought that would be the worst thing to happen on the trip!!
