Ruta de Vino!

On the drive between Santiago and Valparaiso we visited two wineries... Casas del Bosque and Morande`

Casas del Bosque

The area looked so much like Napa... dry hills and verdant valley floor with vineyards and olive orchards.

We had a picnic at the vineyard edge,

wondering how the other half is doing tonight!





The owner of the wine tour company met up with us last night and showed us around Valparaiso.





We are now in our room at a B&B near the naval museum.  It overlooks the port and we can see our ship and the Holland America ship Veendam.  We will be checking out soon and head down the hill to board Star Princess.
