Night out in Valparaiso















In addition to Graffiti, Valparaiso is in no shortage of bars and clubs. The hostel is full of cool people, and we went exploring the city for the night. The first bar was small and quaint with some excellent artwork on the walls. Next we made a stop at an all night diner for completos and beer. Completos are a brilliant concoction, basically a hotdog in a big bun filled with guacamole, various relishes, tomatoes, mayo, and hot sauce. In the diner, we met a old grandpa with quite the personality. We ended up convincing him to come out to the club with us. I expected the club to be playing reggaeton or top 40, but no it was karaoke. Chilean´s love their Karaoke with a passion. In this huge club filled with people, each singer spared no facial expression and hit every air guitar note. The walk home was pretty amazing as well. The lights over the city reminded me of San Fran.
