On our last day in Santiago, we visited the picturesque port of Valparaiso, founded in the 16 century with 43 hills that are reached by narrow, windy streets, staircases and a series of lifts (funiculars), a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We continue to Viña del Mar, known as the Garden City for its pretty parks and flower-lined streets. On the return to Santiago, we stopped at some of the beaches. For dinner we enjoyed a traditional Chilean dinner at a local restaurant and bid farewell to our tour.

Why, I was wrong! Nov 30 was our last day, but with no activities planned Randy and roamed to Flea Markets Antique Mall and a Pre Columbian Museum. The walking nearly killed my feet but we enjoyed it never-the-less. We got some sleep on the airplane and arrived in Houston at 5 am.

Today we celebrated 37 years of marriage in Argentina by going to more falls. We didn’t get wet now that I was prepared. of course! I thought I had enough pictures of falls, but from another perspective I felt the need to take some more. This blog inserts pictures with no particular order. A park near our hotel that we stilled through before dinner. A caiman alligator! A view from above Not bad after 37 years of marriage. The butterflies enjoy the sweat on your skin The pictures don’t do these views justice. This pretty one stayed with me for some time. Some people took a boat ride in the water. No thanks. Like I said, no particular order. On the Argentina side it Igazu. On the Brazil side it is Igasu with an S! A Argentinian caiman lizard.
