Stacey's Adventures
So I ended up, again, where I started at! Santiago! A quick stopover here and then it was off to Pichilemu! I arrived in the wee hours of the morning again, around 6am and set off to see if there was room available in my hostel! Sure enough, they had a bed open so I plopped down and slept for a couple hours!
Once rested, I was off to the Marriott where they were supposed to have an adaptor! Once I got off the metro, the area around the Marriott was an absolute zoo! This couple stopped to ask me for directions and I told them I was completely lost as well! They ended up being from the States, so we took off together to find our respective places!
After errands were done, we got lunch at this Italian place that the woman, Ann Marie, knew about! She grew up in Santiago, but has lived in the States since she was 17 and is now back with her boyfriend, George, buying property in the Lake District. I must say, that was one of the best Italian meals I have ever had!
After the big pasta meal, I headed back to the hostel to read and relax in the courtyard! This girl, Lissette, started talking to me and it turns out she is from Pasadena! She has been teaching Spanish at an elementary school in Peru for the past 5 months! We went to dinner together at this restaurant that her friend recommended, The Fat Cow, and had a wonderful meal of grilled mixed meat brochettes!
After dinner, it was back to the courtyard in the hostel, which seems to be the popular hang-out spot for everyone! A whole group of us sat up late talking about who knows what, climbing trees, and just having a great time! (as you can see in the pictures!)
Chao!
