Homeward Bound

After a gruling week of private vineyard tours in the Casablanca Valley (Chile's wine country), 18th century outdoor "elevator" rides in Valparaiso (Chile's San Francisco built around its largest naval port), sun-bathing with sea lions in Vina del Mar (Chile's Malibu), ocean-side Jaiba Camaron Empanadas (crab, shrimp, cheese fried by the gods) in Con Con (known for its surfable sand dunes and seafood empanadas), and afternoon cerveza (beer); we boarded our double-decker Tur Bus for the 9-hour trek south to Temuco.  At last...WE ARE HOME!
