For the first time, Jed and I went separate directions today. The reasoning? He wanted to go to the naval museum. I... did not. It was great to be able to talk and have each of us fine to do our own thing, so while he went to spend his afternoon at the museum, I hit the beach with an English guy and Bermudan girl from our hostel. We took the metro to Vina del Mar, a mere 9 km from Valparaiso and I spent the day walking around, and just lounging on the beach and admiring the random jet show in the skies.

Practical Information: Vina del Mar, though there is not much to do there other than beach it, is a great and super easy day trip from Valpo. You can either rent bikes and ride them there (again, only 9km) or you can take the metro like we did. Its a short, probably 7 minute ride, and will run you 350 chilean pesos each way. Depending on what you want to go, check the various metro stops as there are a number of stops in the Vina del Mar area, though the Vina del Mar one is definitely most central. Beaches can get crowded... be on the lookout for pickpocketers and have someone watch your stuff if you plan on getting in the water.
