As I slowly got out of bed, I was immediately reminded of last nights activities. Nonetheless we needed to take advantage of our free day in Santiago. After getting some nourishment, Sam, Erik and I took the Metro to the Palacio Cousiño. It was epic and beyond luxurious including a half ton chandelier and the family crest imprinted everywhere possible. The Cousiño family had built the palace in 1878 and had aquired a vast amount of wealth through coal and other business ventures. The website, including more pictures of the palace can be seen here:

The rest of the day was spent catching up with all of the homework and reading that had been forgotten about during the past few days. And finally to end the day, packing for Viña del Mar and the closest to 8 hours of sleep I have yet experienced on the trip.
