Friday, May 16

The last day... I can't believe that it is over. To make sure that I had bought everything I needed to buy during this trip, a group of us went back to the boardwalk this morning to do just a little bit more shopping. Throughout the trip, people have been buying the hats that have ear flaps and a woven llama pattern. I didn't think that I would want to buy one of the hats at first but today I bought two and I have to say that I am very happy with my purchase. I also bought a scarf for my sister, and so now I am officially done with shopping for myself and for my family. Before going back to the hotel to pack, we stopped at McDonald's to get one last bite of authentic Chilean cuisine.

We said goodbye to the hotel and to our favorite emapanda places as we pulled out of Vina to go to the airport. At the airport, we got dinner at Ruby Tuesday and were laughing that our last meals in Chile were at McDonald's and Ruby Tuesdays, two very American chain restaurants. Now, we are waiting to get on the plane to take the 10 hour plane ride back to our normal lives. It has been fun.
