Last night we had our welcome dinner at a nice restaurant in Providencia. The food was incredible (I had the best risotto) and we all enjoyed some nice pisco sours and Chilean wine. Afterwards we all went to the Bellavista neighborhood, known for its bars and clubs. We hung out at a bar for a while and then went out to a dance club. It was a lot of fun to be out and about but this morning we were all zombies at the center this morning. People were napping on the couches and trying to relax before this afternoon's classes.
I finally set up some plans for the holiday weekend. A few of us are going to Viña del Mar, a beautiful city on the beach. I am hoping to be able to relax a lot and enjoy the beach vacation I never got over spring break. The bus ride is only a couple of hours so it should be a great 2-day trip. I'm coming back on Saturday night so that I can celebrate Easter with my family.
Today we discovered a really nice food court close to the center that has several delicious options-- from American and Chilean fast food to a restaurant that specializes in fruits, juices, and salads. I went crazy with the grapes and kiwi, of course.
This afternoon will be a struggle for all of us to stay awake through a couple of classes, but after a good night's sleep tonight I'll be ready for the beach! Yay!
