Today was supposed to be a relaxing day, and it turned out just so. With a late start time and a day of rest ahead of us, we boarded the bus and headed for a day resort type place in a nearby town. The concept of this resort was a little different from anything we have in the United States-it was really just a little hotel type place, with activity centered around their many pools and food stations. The spa was all you can eat, and we were able to take advantage of that, along with the large buffet that was provided for lunch. Luckily, the sun cooperated as well, and we were able to lay out be the pool and tan a little bit. I was even able to get the DJ to play ‘Chicken Fried’ off of my iPod. What is more perfect than that?
After lying out in the sun, we were all tired, and went back to rest at the hotel for a couple of hours. Soon enough however, we were back on the road on the way to a barbeque at Werner’s house, the director of the program. We took a city bus to the main road outside of his condo complex, and then walked the rest of the way to the top of his hill. His high-rise condo buildings have the best views in all of Valparaiso/Viña del Mar. At the barbeque we ate various Chilean meats-including sausage, chicken, pork, and beef-and danced different salsa steps all night long. All in all it was a great night.
