Today was our relaxing spa day! We arrived at a country
club-like place that had two pools, a restaurant, tennis courts, and a play
ground. We were first served with the typical Chilean empanada consisting of
meat, onions, egg, and an olive.
After having our snack, most of us just
relaxed by the pool and caught up on some rest. Lunch was then served and
consisted of a steak with an egg overtop and French fries (papas fritas!). The
meal was delicious and our table was then served with a salad that had lettuce,
tomatoes, and an avocado! After we finished, we got dessert which was a creamy
pie and some type of pudding. After we were all full, we headed back outside
and relaxed by the pool some more. A few of us went to play more futbol in the
tennis courts which caused a few brush burns! Once the sun began to go down, we
walked a few minutes over to Verner’s house who is the head of the Industrial
Engineering department at Universidad Santa Maria and helped coordinate our
activities. He hosted us for a delicious barbeque consisting of sausage and
chicken skewers. It was a great time for all of us to just have some fun and
enjoy each other’s company. We played volleyball for awhile, until Brice hit it
over the fence! It was very cool to see how close the professor is with his
students. It was very generous for him to have us all over and we were all so
grateful for his hospitality!
