Sorry for our rant a little earlier...we were really quite frustrated with the ATMs, only to realize we were doing it all wrong. It took us a while to figure out how to change the ATM over to the extranjero mode, but se la vie.
After our crazy ATM adventure, the outdoor market was closed. Amber was really sad about this but I know there will be MANY more markets to come. We decided to venture to the mall in order to cheer ourselves up. We had walked by this mall yesterday and I saw a great scarf for $5,990 pesos, or about $12 USD. Amber suggested I´d find something better at the market and I didn´t buy it. However, when the market was closed today, I knew I wanted to go back and get that scarf! But when the sales person rang me up, she made a typo on the machine and entered $990 pesos, or about $2 USD. It was fabulous, and after our crappy morning, meant to be!
We walked home (about 30-35 minutes) and took a much needed nap. We awoke rested and decided to venture out to find a place for dinner. We went to the near by Plaza Brasil and had an amazing meal at Atodo Vaca. We both had a big bowl of yummy pasta, a pisco sour, and shared three bottles of water. The bill came to a mere $25 bucks. It was so great for our last night in Santiago.
Tomorrow we will venture to the winery and then on to Valparaiso. I´m not sure what time we´ll arrive (as we haven´t bought our bus tickets yet) but we will try to write if we have internet access.
!Hasta Pronto!

Wouldn't a normal person say, "Um, shouldn't that be more"? Good job on screwing some poor shop keeper. :p
