this is a sketchy elevator that we took to this vista point thing in valpariaso...from the top it was really pretty.... but getting there...well lets just say it was interesting...or chilean...haha everything in chile is flightay (chilean word that pretty much means ghetto...not really sure on the spelling but thats deff the way it is pronounced)
this is some of the view from the top of the vista...it was really pretty and very close to the ocean... oh yea thats the pacific ocean... incase you didnt kno...now this is some graffiti that we saw...and i kno that you probabaly wont understand it unless you speak spanish...but it says no entiendo which in spanish means i dont understand... but also its really close to the name of the game console nitendo...just a funny play on words...us gringos thought it was pretty funny...
