Vina del Mar!

We´re at the beach! We made it to Vina del Mar Saturday night (after yet another flight delay). We picked up our car in Santiago and drove to Vina. Our car is a tiny red Toyota Yaris we named Guido! The drive was gorgeous- mountains, vineyards and then the view of the coast! Vina del Mar is nestled up against the mountains and quite hilly (reminds us of San Francisco streets).
Yesterday we spent the entire afternoon laying out at the beach in Renaca, which is a small town north of Vina del Mar that feels like a mini Cancun. I (Brooke) have never seen such big waves as we did yesterday. They were huge!
Sarah and I decided that we didn´t want to go back to Santiago so we´re staying in Vina del Mar tonight ( we want more beach time!) and tomorrow we´ll take a bus directly to the airport to head back home (so sad to be leaving!!!). Being at the beach has been a perfect way to end this awesome trip!
