Frank's Visit - Day 4

Sunday was a beautiful sunny day, and I picked Frank up to go to church at 10:45 (he also thought sleeping in on Sundays was a cool idea). We got to church, and Frank got to meet Fr. Francisco. We had matins at 11, and about half way through, Christine, the choir director, thought Frank's singing was so good, she recruited him to sing the rest of the service in the choir. Considering it was all in Spanish, Frank did a great job. Liturgy was beautiful as well, and at the end Fr. Francisco gave a very warm welcome to Frank and congratulated us on our upcoming wedding. Following Liturgy, we spent a little bit of time talking afterward, and then headed to lunch at Gatsby's, a nice restaurant near the church, and had buffet. After lunch, we went to the National History Museum and learned about the history of Chile from pre-Hispanic indigenous peoples to the coup of 1973. All in all, it was a very informative trip.
After that, we took a short detour to my house to charge my phone and discovered that restaurants do not usually open for dinner on Sundays (who'd a thought, right?). We did manage to find a restaurant open next to Frank's hostel, and we were very pleased with our choice. That was pretty much our day on Sunday, and we were both exhausted at that point, so we went home to bed.
