We started off the day (on Monday, the day we had off) eating lunch at a restaurant while watching the Chile-Brazil game. We all got a beer and ate what a Chilean would usually eat while watching a soccer game.
Cheers Kim!
Vamos Chile!
My lunch: Pollo a lo Pobre.
At half-time, once we realized Chile was going to lose, we walked to San Cristobal. San Cristobal is one of two hills in the city of Santiago. This is the bigger one, the other is smaller, but it is more in the heart of the city. At the top of this "cerro" (hill, in English), is a statue of the Virgin Mary. It took us 3.5 hours to climb to the top and back, but it was worth it. Most of these pics are of the Andes, but there are a few pics of the city and cerro too. Enjoy!

Getting closer to the top!
And higher, and higher, and higher...
The sun was starting to set as we walked up.
