The weather was beautiful again today as we headed to the spa at Rosa Agustina. Tucked away amongst a residential neighborhood and an elementary school, this was a beautiful country club. However, in order to go swimming, we would have needed swim caps, so unfortunately, we could not go in one of the many pools they had there. Therefore, we soaked up the sun for most of the day and I got some relaxing reading done. We also played a soccer game with the Chileans, which was pretty intense as the Chileans showed off their skills. We had a lunch buffet in a beautiful reception hall-like room. There was some interesting food that some people tried such as blood sausages. However, I tried papaya and a peach that, from what I gathered, was dried and pickeled, which was really good. I also really enjoyed their flan. The day was really relaxing as we were one of the only groups at the country club and it was warm and sunny outside for once!
In the evening, we went to Werner's house for dinner and met up with the other Chilean students. The sausages and shish kabobs that Werner made were really good. The students taught us dances that they do in addition to salsa and reggeaton, which were fun. We also taught them some American dances such as the Cha Cha Slide and Cotton-eyed Joe. It was really interesting to see the similarities and differences in our dances and theirs. Overall, it was a fun day as we had the opportunity to relax together and once again compare our cultures.
