Today we went to the zoo downtown.  Walking there was an experience in itself.  We saw the university area where people our age would hang out and we picked up a stray dog or two along the way.  Before we went into the zoo we rode the gondola up to the top of the mountain and got an amazing view of the city.  We had a little time to shop and after riding the gondola back down to the bottom, we went to the zoo.  Everything was uphill so we got a little bit of exercise along the way.  They had the typical animals that you would see in America but it was still a great experience.  Afterwards we ate chicken for lunch, which came with an amazing crepe-like dessert. Then we were off to play our second match against the Chilean B team.  The atmosphere in the gym was awesome.  The guys wanted our pictures and the crowd was really pumped up.  We won in three but it was a great, competitive match.  After the match we went to dinner back at the hotel, then called it a night.  Adios from Santiago, Chile!!!
