Patio Bella Vista

This afternoon after our business visit to AmCham we stopped at Patio Bella Vista for lunch and shopping. The bus dropped us off and we had an hour to explore and grab a bite to eat. A group of people decided to stop at The Pizza Factory where they enjoyed different kinds of thin crust pizza. Brian Forbes decided to try Hawaiian pizza for the first time! SIE has provided a great opportunity for each of us to step out of our comfort zone and try new things.  Another group ate at Puerto Bella Vista, were they enjoyed different seafood meals. They all left with very full stomachs.

A group of friends and I ate at Openbox Restobar overlooking the Patio Bella Vista. We have been very lucky with the beautiful weather for it allows us to take in the whole outdoor environment and atmosphere that this country has to offer.  At Openbox Restobar we decided to try the different selection of sushi options. Maggie Carbin loved the salmon avocado rolls and really enjoyed the lively area. From our table we could see the different shops and other restaurants in the area.

Another group of students decided to spend the rest of their time poking around the different shops. The stores were all unique having their own individual flare with artwork and beautiful flowers throughout the shopping area.

Above is a photo of the artwork that lined the wall on one of the corners. 

Sarah Bondar and many other girls bought different jewelry items for themselves and for gifts. Dustin Braman and Mike Dalton bought themselves fanny packs to be more efficient while walking around the city.  Now we are off to our next business visit Gallina Feliz, after taking in more of the culture and beauty that Chile has to offer.
