Hey mum!
We started a journey to northern lands 
We slept on a bus for 8 hours and woke up in Santiago, the capital of Chile! But we didn't see anything there because we got off the bus and inmediately got into another one to keep going north 
Another 7 hours north!
Here we are leaving Santiago at 8 am...
As you can see the hills near Santiago have different vegetation than back south in Temuco... it starts getting more desertic, there is less vegetation here and you can even see some cactus! 
Then, after about 4 hours on the second bus we started seeing the sea!
The bus made a stop to stretch everyone's legs in a little Town called Los Vilos. There was literally nothing to see there but one single cactus, so Leslie, desperate to get me good photos, made me sit on it and pose!!! 
With my butt full of little red dots we went back to the bus and it started moving again...
And after a total of 15 hours on buses, we got to La Serena! 
Mum, don't surprised if you find my butt a little flat when I come back home... This is why.
But traveling is never a pain, so as soon as we got there we left our baggage in the hostal and started walking a long long street that leads to the bech
There were many monuments along, but I found this one specially awful, they are 2 condors (the national bird, remember?) hunting a poor rabbit! 
Who on earth can sculpt such a horrible scene!!
Then there were no more sculptures but road, just many blocks of road to the beach... surrounded by nice palm trees
And then, finally, after walking about 18 blocks we got to the beach! 
we were starting to feel tired but as soon as we saw the sea, it took all our tiredness away!
The first thing you see when you get to the beach is a nice lighthouse which is the most known icon of La Serena
We stayed here the whole afternoon relaxing after so much traveling and walking...
You'll see more La Serena soon mum, and so will I 
See ya!
