Day 10: Tuesday 5/17/11

SPA DAY! Today I woke up not knowing what to expect. That is something we have come to understand is essential here in Chile, no expectations and usually everything turns out great! Today was similar, when we got to the "spa" is was actually a resort with like a thousand pools. The place was another tropical beauty. The place looked like paradise on the outside, it was huge. Werner set up the whole thing for us and I am so grateful. We had a huge buffet lunch with numerous Chilean foods and options. The lunch was great and I even tried a funky Chilean dessert! Before lunch, I watched some of my plus3ers play the Chilean students in 'futbol'. After lunch, we all laid out in the warm sun. Finally sunny!!! These two days have been the best! After laying out we taught the Chileans a typical American game. Then we all left the resort and went home to get ready for Werner's barbecue. When we got to the barbecue we had great sausage sammiches again, those things are amazing.  The food was great. Then the Chileans taught us more typical Chilean dances, they have so many. We tried to teach them 'US dances' and we soon realized our where less then appealing... we had soulja boy, chacha slide, cotton eye joe, and john wall..... in the words of Jon Bass, "Yay, we have no culture!" Our dances were pretty embarrassing when compared to the chilean dances. I swear all Chileans are great dances... and singers!(Which I know thanks to the karaoke bars.) Overall, the day was a lot of fun and I am not ready to leave in 3 days.
