Viña del Mar, Chile

Viña del Mar is near Valparaíso; about a half an hour by bus.  So I took a day trip there before returning to Santiago.  It was slightly off season (summer is over) and cloudy so I didn't go to the long whites beaches it is renowned for.  It's a lovely town, and a summer getaway for people from Santiago.  It's in stark contract to Valparaíso with its palm-tree-lined streets and squares. 

I love this picture ( Listen, my son, and be wise, and set your heart on the right path).  There are many proverbs written on the stones along the main malecón.  The symbolism here in the image is great.
