Spa Day!

Today was a blast! Thankfully we were able to sleep in until about 9:30 and then headed to the "spa" after eating breakfast. Basically, it consisted of a really nice resort with multiple swimming pools, foosball, and an area to play fútbol in. Being that it is fall here in Chile, only a few guys were brave enough to hop in the water. The rest of us enjoyed lounging by the pool in the sunshine all day long. The mountainous view was beautiful as you can see below. We also had a Chile vs. USA fútbol game- I'm sure you can guess who won! Then we enjoyed a delicious buffet lunch and were given free drinks the rest of the afternoon. Talk about living the life!

Beautiful day at the spa

Fútbol!

We hung out at the spa until about 6 pm and then took a bus to the director of the university's house- he had us all over for a barbecue and it was so much fun! We ate delicious Chilean hotdogs and kabobs on the grill. It was a lot of fun to hang out with all of the students. It's hard for all of us to believe that we have only been here for about a week, because we have already made such great friends with one another and the Chilean students. Viña feels just like home to us. 

Cookout at Professor Werner's house

Tomorrow is our free day which everyone is looking forward to. I'm going to try to go for a run on the beach and check out the mall. At night we are going to a fancy dinner with some professors and students at the University. I'm so fortunate to be making so many amazing memories here. Buenas noches!
