Lunes (monday) mi primer día en el Norte

Today we started our trip to the north, which took me all through the 3ª región, from the desert to the coast and from the far north of the región to the far south. Today we went from coquimbo (where i live) to vallenar, stopping for a few hours, and después passing through Copiapó, but not stopping until we ended up in Caldera, on the coast again, where we spent the night at a residencial where my host dad knows the owner.

Martes (tuesday) en el Norte

Today we went from Caldera up north to Diego de Almagro, and on the way back we stopped in Chañaral, sorry about the lack of and the poor quality of today's fotos, my camera was in macro mode in the morning, and after i figured out it was in macro mode, it started running out of bateries. Diego de Almagro is a little mining town, of about 1500 people, which I fell in love with, its nice and quiet. Chañaral used to be a big port, but for the last 20 years or so, ships have been stopping in other, bigger, easier to access ports, and Chañaral has fallen into disarray since then, although i dont have fotos, Chañaral is full of old buildings that havent been kept up very well, which are interesting, but sad, because you can see that they were beautiful at one time.

Miércoles (wednesday) en el Norte

Today we got up nice and early, and went to Copiapó, the biggest city in the 3ª región where I spent all day exploring and taking pictures. We stayed the 2 nights in Copiapó at the house of a friend of my host dad's, she was pretty cool xD
