Valparaíso lunch

We took a bus to Valparaiso today about two hours outside of Santiago. When we first arrived, the city seemed chaotic and dirty. We walked towards the center and found one of the city's ancient ascensors and took it up one of the steep cerros (hills). The whole scene changed immediately. Beautiful views of the ocean, gorgeous multi-colored buildings in vibrant oranges, purples and yellows and this fabulous restaurant where we had a wonderful lunch. Next to our hotel and on a walking tour of the city to see more of the amazing buildings clinging to the side of the hills.
