Day 7 - Big Boy Birthday

On Monday we didn't really do much because we took a day off. We took a day off because the conference ended a few days ago, we were tired from the weekend trips, but most importantly IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY!

There is a bakery near our house and we have been getting our lunch from there most days. They have lots of bready thing but we got caramel filled croissants and a little chocolate cake. 

In the afternoon we went out and got ice creams in waffle cones - they have lots of really good ice cream shops in Chile. One astronomer from the conference wrote down a list of good icea cream shops in Santiago to visit. For dinner we went out to this pizza restaurant called "Mama Gaucha's". They had really nice food, but it was quite filling. I had Pepe Rony pizza and fanta. On the way to the pizza place we passed a hawk eating a pigeon.

We had a lot of spare time in the day so we decided to watch some movies. We decided to watch the Star Wars prequels (episodes 1, 2 and 3). We watched the first two before dinner and the last one after. We had many breaks in the middle of the movies to get food.
