I managed to fit in one day of surfing on the coast before my time in Valparaiso was done. It was bloody cold, but in a wetsuit the temperature was manageable. The waves were nothing special, but enough to get a few rides in. I´m working on getting the pictures, so hopefully they will be up in a couple days. In less than 14 hours after my surf, I was back in the mountains for a few more days of boarding.
It snowed most of the day to the point where it was difficult to see and many runs were closed. Instead of braving the weather, I met some of the other people in the hostel and went out for lunch. The place we ate at barely fit two tables, but had fantastic food. There was a bread oven constantly pumping out amazing bread and keeping the place somewhat warm. A bottle of wine and a few beers later I was ready for the afternoon siesta!
My first night there was a gorgeous clear night, with a beautiful sunset over Santiago. The hostel I stayed at, Refugio Aleman, was a nice place with a bar built in. Can´t say there was much nightlife, but the dinner they made for us was great.
We got a few inches of snow during the afternoon and a promising forcast of cloudless skies for the next day. It was shaping up to be another bluebird powder day for me!
