Jumping with the "Parachudistas"....

by GCoop - last update: Sep 26, 2006

Scene from Santiago.

Changing of the guard, Santiago.
I went down to Chile in March of this year for about 2 weeks....I had a great time and never in a million years did I think I would go, or, ever plan on going. The trip was spur of the moment, and I had the time of my life! All those Spanish lessons in high school paid off! Did I mention that I went parachuting for two weeks while I was there? I did!

R.I.P. Fred Jung. April 9th 2006.
Taken from the "Castle".

Overlooking downtown Santiago.

Rusted out crane on the pier.

Valparaiso.....walk along the promenade.

Cons:"Santiago was smoggy!"
In A Nutshell:"The shadow of Pinochet is fading fast!"

 Nice Photos ( the monument is Valparaiso was for a battle between Chile and Peru, not Argentina )
