The day after the rain stopped was the day that Molly, Jeanny, and I decided to explore our little community que se llama La Reina. We walked around the cute little suburban neighborhood and tried to learn all the streets. Maggie spent about 30 mins drawing me a very detailed map and helping me to understand where I am in relation to all I had seen so far in Santiago. After us ladies were done exploring, I got a call from Annie saying that a ton of people were going to Cerro San Cristobal. Cerro means hill in Spanish and this hill is in the middle of the metropolistic city of Santiago. We decided to go and it ended up that about 15 other people from our program had the same idea. We hiked up for about 15 mins until we got to the top where there is a towering ivory-white statue of the Virgen Mary. It was an amazing view as you can see from the pictures.
