An electric trolley waits for passengers in Valparaíso.
Valparaíso.
The entrance to one of Valparaíso's ascensores...
or elevators that were build around 100 years ago to lift people up the hills that surround the city.
The ascensor's tracks.
The bottom of the ascensor is in the lower right hand corner.
The bay that serves Valparaíso.
The top of another ascensor.
A bunch of people working on a big, flat roof.
Two ascensor cars cross paths.
Another track.
I'm about to pass the other cart! OK, it wasn't really that exciting.
The entrance to the Polanco ascensor, the only one that's totally vertical.
The remnants of the meal I had at Cruz Malbrán.
It started out as a huge pile of meat on top of onions and french fries, but once I got down to the fries, it became too greasy for me to handle any more.
People say that the inside of Cruz Malbrán is more like a museum than a restaurant.
For me, it's what I could picture the first Applebee's that opened in 1905 looking like.
