Valparasio is very hilly like San Francisco. We took an ancient elevator
down to the lower levels after driving up and around to find a parking
spot. There was a big line to go up so we walked many many many many
steps up and up. There is an old prison turned into a cultural center
and park where Sarah is going to have a play about migrants in the
country. I took lots of photos. The light was hazy so the colors didn't
come out as bright as the internet shots I have seen.We didn't get to the most interesting section. But what a city! Wouldn't want to live there; visiting once every 6 months would be plenty. We saw and heard English speaking tourists huffing up and down and wondering if they could ever maneuver a wheel chair in the streets. NO. We had lunch in a nice designer-chic place way up over the harbor with papyrus fronds waving in the breeze. Beautiful!
