Casablanca valley
It is super windy in Valpo this evening. It was calm last night, so this is new weather. I feel like hitting the town tonight... or tomorrow. I had a really good day today and I'd like to spend one more here.
I got out to the Casablanca wine route office in the early afternoon. We made a plan. With their help we reserved a taxi to take me to three vineyards this afternoon. They were delightful. Tomorrow I will start earlier and visit the rest. Right now supper is on my mind, but first I must change my eyes.
I had a great time hanging out with the hostel folks last night. Too bad most of them rolled out today. Breakfast here is great. We had boiled eggs! I love eggs for breakfast; they're a staple for me. I finished off my Chicha, a hard grape cider. I'll see about bringing some back. It's a rural artesan brew, so it's not widely distributed. I got my bottle filled up direct from the vat. Tonight I'll work on my pisco and cola. Liquor is good, but I believe in drinking and eating away my luggage.
Three thingsI need to buy: eye drops for contacts, a small padlock, and flipflops. I'd like to see the beach, and wet sandy shoes are no fun.
Emiliana is an oganic winery. I know many of my classmates were big fans of organic agriculture. I sure wish they'd read and comment on my travels.
While wandering the strange streets back to my hostel from the bus depot I stumbled upon the cemetery. It's weird because it's built on a graded hill. This city is so damn hilly and strange. I guess one could compare it to San Fran.
Now I'm really hungered, so I'll change my eyes and find some food.
