Today was the most relaxing day of all: we visited a spa! This is what we were initially told, anyway. The place we ended up spending most of the day was, in my opinion, more of a country club. Nevertheless, we spent all morning lounging by the pool, playing soccer, and eating some more traditional Chilean foods. As if this wasn't relaxing enough, we walked a few blocks down the road around 5 or 6 pm to the beautiful country home of one of the professors from the university, where he treated us to a barbecue! The food was absolutely delicious. He even had a vine-covered patio that we were able to eat grapes directly off of!
It makes me sad to think that I will soon have to leave Chile behind. I have had so many amazing experiences in the two short weeks that I have been here and I am so glad that I decided to study abroad. As my first taste of a foreign culture, I would say that Plus3 greatly exceeded my expectations. It is so refreshing to be thrown outside of your comfort zone, and this program definitely has done that for me. I had to learn to navigate a new city and communicate with people who spoke an entirely different language from me, but I loved it. The hospitality that all of the students and professors and companies have shown us is unbelievable. It will certainly be difficult to say goodbye in just two days.
