Today was our first free day in Chile! Half of the day was gone due to the fact we got in pretty late night and to even get six hour of sleep involved us not waking up till noon. So after recouping a few of us went into town to go shopping. We decided we would scope out this prices today and make final purchases later in the week. We walked into panadaria where I got what seemed like to be a donut sliced down the middle filled with vanilla pudding. Sprinkled with powder sugar. After that we had lunch at one of the places on the main street. The place had pretty good food for a more inexpensive price.
At 5:45 we walked over to the stadium to see my first real fútbol game. The walk there was about 30 minutes and rather exhausting, but once we got to the stadium it was like nothing I had ever seen. There were group of die-hard fans in two different sections. It was almost like sitting at Pitt football game but more intense. There were Chilean policemen everywhere. When ever the home team score people went insane. They would bang on drums and then bring this huge flags down. As the game went on the temperature dropped and it got really cold, so when the game finally ended I wasn’t too up even though the game was tied 2-2. Tomorrow we have another free day and I am not really sure what we are going to do yet, maybe checking out the mall here.
