Some scenes from my first week in Viña del Mar/Valparaíso:
-The market: 3 city cats lounging in the shade beneath the melons.
-A body shop: man working under a car, woman with a dog on a leash, dog licking man’s face. Smiles all around.
-The kitchen: translating negotiations for a car sale with three chileans, two mexicans and a german.
-Night: dancing literally all night until the sun started to rise. Then an afterparty.
-My neighborhood: trying to situate myself by taking a new route home. Ending up going up three unnecessary staircases.
-The club: recognizing a Cueca song and actually being able to dance to it.
-Friend’s apartment: singing along to Mötorhead. #theaceofspades
-Right now: going to the beach with my mexican neighbors! (I can see it from here).
