We walked around in downtown Viña where there were a bunch of smaller malls and market-type things set up. Everyone got a bunch of souvenir buying completed, so expect goodies when I get back! We managed to find an Italian restaurant for lunch, which was absolutely wonderful. It was a little tiny hole-in-the-wall restaurant, and our waiter was really helpful.
Did I mention that it ended up being absolutely gorgeous outside?
Because of this, we decided to move our shopping extravaganza down to the beach where more booths were set up. Jessica and I were lucky enough to find two Chilean kids playing volleyball in the sand, who also happened to speak English!, so we were there til after the sun wouldn't let us play anymore. That's when we saw some crazy kids run into the freezing cold ocean. As we walked further down the beach back towards our hotel, we discovered that those crazy kids were none other than a few of our fellow Plus3ers! When in Chile, right? :)
That night we went out to celebrate Jeff's birthday on the roof of one of our student guide's apartments. He was really happy to finally be 19!
To tell you the truth, Sunday was kind of a bust. I got up at like 12:15.. I think the sleep deprivation wass starting to really kick in. Everyone wanted to leave to find a place to watch the Chile vs. Mexico soccer game about 10 minutes after that. We walked around for a while with no results, and ended up walking back to the taco bar right down the street from the hotel. We all got a good meal, but had to watch Chile lose :(
After that, the day was full of catching up on journals, napping, and lots of time wasted on Facebook. I think we all needed a good rest.
