Valparaiso & Sailing Out--Photos

                      There are several funiculars (cable cars going up the steep hills) in Valparaiso.
                                    They are preparing for a music festival weekend of Jan 28th.
                                                Silver Seas Spirit is with us in port again.

                                           Sailing out of Valparaiso harbor past the Spirit.
                    Next several photos shows how Valparaiso is built on hillside (coastal mountains).
                                                         Colorful buildings and houses.


                Normal for a tugboat to be escorting us out of ports just in case the ship loses power.
      This is the Chilean Parliament or where senators meet in Valparaiso, not in capital city of Santiago.
                    It was magnificent sailing out with the colorful buildings and deep blue ocean.
