Valparaiso

Yesterday we arrived in Valparaiso, YAY. First we did all the boring stuff, like unpack and go get some groceries. Then we got to go get some good looking stuff from a bakery. We got two chocolate donuts, a little chocolate cake and finally we got a chocolate pastry, but like I said it looked good but it didn't taste very good (boo hoo). After that tragic experience we had dindin and watched a movie (we've been eating desert before dindin). 

Today we went to the Museo Naval y Maritimo, a museum that my dad really wanted to go to, so we kinda had to go. Part of the museum was about Thomas Cochrane, an English admiral who helped start the Chilean navy. He was in the navy from 1793-1860 and died at age 84. He served in many different countries, like Brazil, Greece, Chile, and England. He was the real life person who inspired the movie Master and Commander.

  1. It is funny how deceiving looks are. I have purchased the most yummy looking dessert only to discover it tasted like cardboard. Yes, very disappointing. Did you discover any new facts about Thomas Cochrane at the museum? Did the movie "Master and Commander" depict him accurately?
    Looking forward to your next post.
