As I’ve been told, Chile is prominently made up of Catholics. This was made even clearer today. Sunday is their day of rest, and it was also our day of rest. I got up later today than I have in years, and it was very nice. After we woke up, we decided to do some shopping. So we walked to the mall. We weren’t exactly sure where it was, but we figured it out, because we actually ran into a Chilean student on the way there. It was perfect timing, because we were pretty clueless at the time. The mall was an experience, very similar to malls in the United States really. It was large with three floors, and a very nice place. The food court honestly looked nearly identical to our malls, with a Subway, KFC and McDonald’s. It was clear that we wouldn’t find souvenirs here, so we decided to go to the boardwalk area to the souvenir shops. I bought nothing, which is pretty good because my money seems to be disappearing. After this, we were absolutely starving from not eating since dinner last night. We were going to go to a hot dog shop (which would’ve been an adventure) but like many places on Sunday, it was closed. We went to get pizza instead, which was very similar to our pizza. Tonight we’re dressing up and going to a nice dinner with the entire group. It kind of reminds me of a little Sunday family dinner. I’ll also finally get to wear my dress pants somewhere. Dinner was honestly FANTASTIC. We had steak, and it was so tender that we didn't even get steak knives. It was really nice to be in a more formal setting with everyone all dressed up. This evening we've all been just really relaxing.
