July 19th

Attempts at meaningful content have ended. I have exactly no time to think of clever things so there will be mostly photos for a while. Yesterday we went to Valparaíso:

La Casa de Pablo Neruda: very cool

View of the harbor from the restaurant

Fancy pants lunch with very good fish and also good vegetable lasagna

Congreso Nacional. They're big into squares here.

Sitting in on a congressional session

Brave swimmers in the Humboldt current

A lovely sunset after a lovely day. Sadly there are no pictures of the unbelievably good ice cream we ate shortly after this.
