Valparaíso

But the people are so used to it that they pay no attention whatever to these minor quakes.

At the time San Francisco was ruined, Valparaiso was all but destroyed, but you would never know it by a visit to the city now.

Chile includes a large part of the island of Tierra del Fuego.

At the very southern tip of this is Cape Horn.

When about sixty percent of the people are illiterate, and this class is almost entirely the laboring class, it does not look as if conditions would be changed very soon.

I saw more drinking in Chile than in any other South American country.

A portion of the city of Valparaiso seems to be given over almost entirely to the liquor dealers, and the people who throng that district are hard-looking folks.

The fag ends of civilization seem to have gathered here.

Wine is all about the story, right? So I set up my, my winery from scratch.

When I came to Chile originally, I was, I was in Valparaiso, which is a port city, which was the most important port in South America for a long time, and I was renovating old mansions.

But I grew up in the countryside in England, and I started to miss the country.

When I hit about thirty, thirty-one, I started to miss the countryside.

Story one.

I live in Valparaíso, Chile.

This happened to me when I was sixteen years old and alone at home.

It must have been around ten thirty at night.

Thanks, Maddie.

Okay, we got one more, and this is from Nico in Valparaiso, Chile.

And Nico asks, "What's the most overrated 'must eat,'" in quotes-

Fifth, Nagasaki, Japan." "He is evidently a great traveler and a most mysterious person." "He's more than that," said Eastover with conviction.

"He's late for dinner." Prendergast looked at his watch.

Halleck and Ord went up to Santiago, the capital of Chile, some sixty miles inland, but I did not go.

valparaiso did not impress me favourably at all seen from the sea it looked like a long string of houses along the narrow beach surmounted with red banks of earth with little verdure and no trees at all northward the space widened out somewhat and gave room for a plaza but the mass of houses in that quarter were poor we were there in november corresponding to our early spring and we enjoyed the large strawberries which abounded the independence frigate commodore shubrick came in while we were there having overtaken us bound also for california we met there also the sloop of war levant from california and from the officers heard of many of the events that had transpired about the time the navy under commodore sloat had taken possession of the country all the necessary supplies being renewed in Valparaiso, the voyage was resumed.

For nearly forty days we had uninterrupted favorable winds, being in the trades, and having settled down to sailor habits, time passed without notice.

We had brought with us all the books we could find in New York about California, and had read them over and over again.

Slowly the land came out of the water, the high mountains about Santa Cruz, the low beach of the saunas, and the strongly marked ridges terminating in the sea in a point of dark pine-trees.

then the line of whitewashed houses of adobe backed by the groves of dark oaks resembling old apple-trees and then we saw two vessels anchored close to the town one was a small merchant brig and another a large ship apparently dismasted at last we saw a boat coming out to meet us and when it came alongside we were surprised to find lieutenant henry wise master of the independence frigate that we had left at valparaiso Wise had come off to pilot us to our anchorage.

While giving orders to the man at the wheel, he, in his peculiar fluent style, told to us, gathered about him, that the Independents had sailed from Valparaiso a week after us, and had been in Monterey a week, that the Californians had broken out into an insurrection, that the naval fleet under Commodore Stockton was all down the coast about San Diego, that General Kearney had reached the country, but had had a severe battle at San Pascual, and had been worsted, losing several officers and men, himself and others wounded.

That war was then going on at Los Angeles, that the whole country was full of guerrillas, and that recently at Yerba Buena the Alcada, Lieutenant Bartlett, United States Navy, while out after cattle, had been lassoed, etc., etc., Indeed, in the short space of time that Wise was piloting our ship in, he told us more news than we could have learned on shore in a week, and being unfamiliar with the great distances, we imagined that we should have to debark and begin fighting at once.
