A big item on my to-do list was the beach in Viña del Mar. On Sunday it was 85 degrees and perfect beach weather. Diego gave me a beach recommendation and Katy and I decided to go for it. We took the bus from Santiago to Viña del Mar and then a micro to Reñaca. We stopped at a typical greasy Chilean restaurant for lunch and chowed down on a completo gigante and a churrasco with fries. The completo was much bigger than my hand but somehow we managed to finish everything. Once we felt sufficiently disgusting we headed to the beach and took in the sunshine. After an hour we could already see sunburn lines so we lathered ourselves with sunscreen but it was too late; the hole in the southern ozone took advantage of our reflecting white skin. The beach was fantastic and I loved soaking up the sun while thinking about the cold weather in Boston.
