Today was our first free day on the trip. I took advantage of being able to sleep in!
When I woke up, a few friends and I went on an adventure through Vina del
Mar. We went to a bakery and ordered
some delicious Chilean treats. My friend
Evan ordered an adorable dessert! It was a chocolate covered pig made of
chocolate cake. After we explored Vina,
we headed to the mall. The mall huge! It
was four stories and full of many stores I have never seen before. There were also many outdoor vendors and
shops outside of the mall. I did all of
my shopping at the outdoor shops!
Shopping inside the mall seemed to be very expensive, I didn’t want to
spend too many of my pesos! After the
mall we headed out to our surprise dinner Jorge and Sarah had planned for
us. We all got dressed up and went to a
restaurant called Tierra Del Fuego. It was a beautiful restaurant located right
on the beach. The food was delicious and
we all had a wonderful time together!
Evan entertained us with a live singing performance of some Christina
Aguelera songs. The walk home from
dinner was very interesting to say the least.
A man dressed up in a scary alien/robot costume complete with fake
weapons chased us down. I almost
cried. In Chile, many people dress up and
perform on the streets to make money, but this was the scariest costume I have
seen so far. When we finally arrived
safe back at Hotel America, there were a bunch of dogs mating outside of the
hotel. Needless to say, I am happy to be safe inside writing my blog! Tomorrow
begins a new week full of lectures, company visits, and more adventures!
