A Sunday Afternoon in the Hills of Valparaiso

By kbartz34

If you ever have the chance to go abroad, prioritize befriending the locals! One of my Chilean friends took me to a backyard bbq - delicious food with a side of traditional dancing! From the artwork in the garden to the live music, it was easy to forget the frigid fall temperatures and enjoy a day with friends.

The family's patio was so popular amongst neighborhood friends that they decided to pull out a few more tables and chairs and open up their home to the public on Sunday afternoons.
