With only a small change in itinerary after I found out the plane I was originally supposed to take from Miami to Santiago would be about five hours delayed, I arrived at the Santiago airport this morning sleep-deprived but on-time. After stopping briefly at the hotel to drop off my luggage and freshen up, I met up with Molly and her group. They had a trip to Valparaiso (a city about two hours west of Santiago by bus) scheduled for today, and couldn't have been nicer about allowing me to accompany them! Here are some of the highlights from my first day in pictures:

| Hand crafts sold at Puerto Valparaiso. Some of the most popular items (not pictured) are llama wool scarves. |

| Boats at Puerto Valparaiso |

| La Molly |
 |
| The first of many stray dogs |
 |
| Magnet for sale (I took this one especially for you, Broff!) |
 |
| Something Jewish?!? |
 |
| Not only were there stray dogs, but also stray kids! These little guys followed us around for a while. |

La Molly y yo |
Love the Pinoshit magnet. You must look up Victor Jara. I expect a report back on him!
