A resident of Cerro Concepcion strikes a pose while Linda admires the art adoring Pasaje Fischer in Valplaraiso, Chile

The stairs along Pasaje Fischer are never a chore to ascend Cerro Concepcion. One always ends up stopping to appreciate the art along the way.

The street dogs in Valparaiso don't seem to be bothered by the downtown shoppers and the shoppers do not seem to mind them. Several times Linda and I observed people distribute handfuls of dog food as they would pass by.
