All I can say is that everything about today was absolutely incredible- I couldn't have possibly imagined a better afternoon for our final day here in Chile. As I mentioned in one of my earlier blogs, today was our day to horseback ride on the beach. It was such an awesome experience! We arrived at a beautiful horse farm around 11 am. The woman and her husband who owned it showed us around their home- they raise not only horses, but also boars, pigs, cows, and chickens! After spending so much time in the city atmosphere, it was refreshing to relax in the wide open farm land. They helped us mount the horses and gave us a few tips for riding and then we were off! I used to ride horses when I was younger, but my skills were a little shaky at first. Luckily, before long I was galloping down the coastline like a pro (or at least that's what I like to think)! I had never gone so fast on a horse before and it was really exhilarating. After riding on the beach for about an hour we migrated to a wooded trail and then to a vast desert-like area with HUGE dunes. For our final hour we returned to the beach and galloped all the way back to the ranch. My pictures truly don't do the views justice.

Following our 3 hour ride, we returned to the ranch for a barbecue. The owners prepared us a feast on their grill and outdoor oven that was absolutely delicious. We enjoyed chorizo (shout out to my Dad!!), spanish rice, tomato salad, potato salad, steak, pork, bread, salad, wine, and cookies and coffee for dessert. It was another great meal and a fantastic end to our afternoon. The scenery at the ranch was gorgeous.
DELICIOSO!
We were all sad to leave our amazing day behind. Once we returned to the hotel, we took a quick nap and now we're getting ready for our final night! We are going out for pizza and beer with the Chilean students and will then be heading to a nightclub in Valparaiso to celebrate our last night. The club supposedly has 4 floors, each one containing a different style of dance (salsa, merengue, reggaeton, etc). I'm really excited and am sure it will be an excellent way to finish our time here. Hasta mañana!
