Talcahuano

For my week of vacation for las Fiestas Patrias, I went down to Concepcion to visit my friend Lorena and her family. I first flew down to Santiago and then took a bus overnight to Concepcion. Lorena lives with her family in a suburb of Conce called Talcahuano. It was beautiful with all the green and the ocean and a lot cleaner than Iquique.  After eating breakfast and taking a nap, Lorena took me around the city to check out the sights with her dad and her daughter Sofia. Here are some of the highlights of Talcahuano.

The stadium shaped like a turtle shell


It started hailing like crazy the first morning I was there! Then it was sunny the rest of the week :)
