I was in Valpo just before new years. Most of the fun was the street festival, but I didn't want to bring my camera to that. Here are different shots of the city.

A view from one of the hills of Valparaiso. I think this is from Cerro Playa Ancha, looking west.

This is the view from Paseo 21 de Mayo, looking out over the port.

One of the many ships in the port. Somehow I don't think that one is going to take too much in the way of cargo.

Looking down the track of one of the ascensores. This one is of Artilleria.

It was weird to see an astronaut in stained glass. (Sorry they're blurry. I can't hold still!)
