Santiago Day 2

early start today at 8:40am and visited the school for the first time via the subway! it's a pretty small school but it's really cozy feeling. Maria showed us around and everyone on campus was getting all hyped up for the game! we had our orientation and they took pictures of us and we sat in our lecture hall for the first time.

Turbus time! i kind of fell asleep for a portion of the tour, but it was just going through the history of the buildings and stuff. we stopped twice and walked through the plaza de armas, where the president works and they were setting up for the world cup game they were going to show later on. when we walked further down it was like an outdoor mall and we walked through the fish market where we got hella harassed by people trying to get us to eat at their place. the second stop was the municipalidad de santiago parque municipal. i'm not sure what the guide was telling us about it but it looked like this old school fort with old cannons and everything. we climbed to the super duper top of the hill where the view was B-E-A-utiful! my thighs are still burning, but on the bus ride tour i fell asleep for awhile. we ended back at the hotel after another 30minutes or so and watched the first half of the world cup game, Chile vs. Spain. Spain ended up winning 2-1, but Chile should've won because Spain's goals were cheap. hahah, i'm just biased. For the second half we went to the plaza de armas again and it was freaking crazy!

look how high we climbed! and we went up even fartherrr. i have thunder thighs now :P

Afterwards we just got back to the hotel and hung out until it was dinner time in which we went to this ocean themed restaurant. it was kind of expensive but i got a seafood soup which was really good except for some crab shell at the bottom of the bowl. ick. bonding time at the hotel was fun because we just sat around in the hallway and talked and played card games for a few more hours.. i broke my converter trying to fit it into the outlet behind my bed :( it was only $4 but i don't want to go through the trouble and going out to buy a new one -______________-;;
