Today was a pretty relaxing day. We woke up late and took a drive to a country
club and were greeted with pino empanadas, with meat, onion, and an olive. Unfortunately, compared to most of the other
empanadas we had had on this trip, these ones were not particularly great and
were too cold. Afterwards, we lounged
around the pool for awhile, until it was time for lunch. At lunch we were treated with a special dish
of a sunny-side-up egg on top of steak on top of French fries. It was very good. After lunch we relaxed more, and some of us
played soccer. Here are pictures of the
club:
After we finished our relaxing day, we were invited to a
barbecue by Verner, the head of the Chilean students who had guided us
throughout the trip. We only had to walk
a few blocks to reach his country home.
There he had a chef prepare various barbecued meats while we played with
soccer balls, a foosball table, Ping-Pong, and helped him build a table. Yes we actually built a table. We used precut wooden planks and measured out
all of the appropriate dimensions in order to transform the planks into a
bench/table. It was quite an interesting
idea for a barbecue. Here are pictures:
Above is the foosball table at which Dave and I defeated Brice and Jorge. Dave did a victory lap afterwards. Below is a picture of the finished table in its rightful place:
Finally, we said our goodbyes, boarded the bus, and returned
to the hotel. Tomorrow is our final
activity day in Chile. I can’t wait to
ride a horse!
