Valparaiso: Party Town!

What a weekend in Valpo and a great way for the Habitat team to finish their time here.

Stayed at this beautiful old house owned by Eugenio, father of one of the Habitat staff who's also Eugenio, who treated us all like family.

Valparaiso's a beautiful postcard-perfect city...





...with a cool bohemian twist.





Saturday night we headed out with Fanny, Geraldine and Eugenio for some dancing in one of Valpo's many clubs. Great night. Had to concentrate a little for the Salsa lessons, but I had great instructors!





Sunday was Chilean Independence day celebrations, so we headed down to the traditional 'Ramadas' (Huge tent-like structures made of branches, or“'ramas') for some traditional food, drink and dancing 'cueca', Chile's national dance. Another great night, not sure if I'll be able to keep this pace up!
