Of the beaches of Viña;

I slept in till about noon today after partying it up with others from the hostel till about 5:00 last night. Today the plan was to go to the beach. I went with two other guys from the hostel. We took our time walking around Vina trying to find the best beach.

On the way we saw skim boarders on an small beach. They were a lot of fun to watch. The seawall created a second sideways wave which they would use to surf around the beach.

We made our way along the beach to a nice place to swim and relax. After warming up for a bit on the beach it was time to go into the water. The waves were huge and the water wasn't that cold. It was still cold enough that after a bit of time you start to chill down.

And some of the street dogs would pass through now and then looking for a cool place to sleep or someone friendly enough to feed them.

We spent a good bit of time at the beach. It was a lot of fun playing in the surf and being out in the sun. My white Seattle skin now has some red color to it.
