Thinking of Chile

The horrible news out of Chile has us thinking about all the nice people we met during our trip there last year.

These are a few of my photos from Valparaíso and Vina del Mar, two pretty beachfront communities about an hour from Santiago. These fun vacation towns now look like this, this, and this.

We also spent a lot of time sitting on a bench right about here, in the now badly-damaged Santiago airport.

More information on the earthquake, including how you can help, is here.

Rick getting totally schooled by Aurora at Doug and Jen’s excellent Wii party. (The game was Wii Sports Resort — swordfighting, specifically.)

Shibuya Crossing, Tokyo

One light cycle. And you thought San Francisco was crowded.

So long, and thanks for all the fish
