End of August i went to Chile with my friend Shane. We had a layover in Dallas so I got to see some of my family. It was very nice. Bonus, I got Rosa's. My mom is the best. It was quite a fun and relaxing trip. Great travel buddy, great location, stayed with an amazing family. We flew into Santiago and stayed 3 days. We didn't do much the first 2 days because of a protest for free schooling. We spent most of our time in Valparaiso and Vina del Mar. Beautiful area. I would go back for sure. We mostly wondered and hung out at the beach. And ate tasty food. We went to some sand dunes the last day. Over all it was most wonderful. Worst part was the donut in the Santiago airport.

"Black Music" is a genre now.
