Valparaiso was once a very important port city in the Pacific, before the Panama Canal. Now it is still a main port for Chile, but not as important globally. Much of the city is built into the hills, which allows for beautiful views of the ocean. There are a lot of pictures that follow, but if you want more, visit our flickr photostream!
The drive to the beach goes through the Casablanca white wine region of Chile!It was amazing how many grapes are grown there!

That's so funny--I was going to comment on how long your hair is and how beautiful your pictures are! Looks like Erika beat me to it! :)
I'm glad you guys had a nice beach Christmas. I'm off to your Flickr site to check out all of your pretty pics. Can you see how much work I'm NOT doing right now?!
Emily - we missed everyone at Christmas too!
Crabby & Jane - my hair is so long because I'm too chicken to get it cut here. I don't really care for most of the haircuts here so I think I'm going to have Brad give me a trim. He's pretty artistic! Anyone ever have their husband cut their hair?
