New Website, New Blog, but the Old Blog Archive remains: September 28, 2023

After many years of wanting a real website, this month I finally have a website designed by the very knowledgeable Rey Rey Rodriguez ( TheMindOfReyRey ). My old blog,  Vacation-Travel-Adventure .com  continues with the same address but it is located in the "Archives" tab on my new website  https://www.ceciliaclark.com/ . The new blog which is a continuation but with much better resolution for 4K screens is now at  https://www.ceciliaclark.com/blog .

Antarctic Trip: Valparaiso, Chile, December 22, 2016


We took a day away from Santiago and caught a bus to the port city of Valparaiso. Valparaiso is about 70 miles northwest of Santiago. It is a city of steep hills and funiculars. Many of the buildings on the hills of Concepcion and Alegre are decorated with murals and expressive graffiti. I don't know many details about this city but all the color made me happy to just be there.

And, on the tram ride back to the bus station, I saw Santa Claus on his motorized sleigh.


Valparaiso is a wonderful city for strolling. Tours for Tips has a tour which would probably be great. Unfortunately, we didn't know that so we explored on our own.
