La Serena is a little boring, I won't lie. But I would love living here - it's quiet and beautiful and the weather is perfect year round. It's kind of like an American suburb had been plopped down and became its own city.
Today I awoke and planned on going to Valle de Elqui, but had last minute second thoughts and decided against it. Not because of money, but because of time and transportation. I worried that with the few hours I would have there, I wouldn't be able to see very much on foot. Perhaps if I had a car.
The reason my friends are staying in La Serena is that they are apartment shopping. That's right, they are moving to La Serena. So today I decided to go apartment shopping with them instead of Valle de Elqui. It was an interesting experience - and they found what I think is a nice place, and very affordable.
