Day 10

Starting today just like any other day, with our usual breakfast, we were off for our day at the Spa.  After a long bus ride, we were finally at the location.  The area around the spa seemed to be like any other neighborhood and the high fence and trees shielded anyone from seeing what was on the inside.  So, I was expected a small house with a group of people or a family as the staff.  Instead, when we entered through the gates, we were greeted with a large palace!  The building itself had tile floors, arches to walk under instead of doors, staff in uniforms working at the front desk, an upstairs all you can eat buffet, an indoor pool, and even a gift shop!

Now let’s talk about outside.  There were palm trees and roses greeting you as you walked in, at least four different pools, a unlimited access food and drink bar, and of course a live DJ to top it all off.  But, let’s continue.  There was even a ‘fútbol’ court where, of course being in Chile, we had to play a game.  The Chilean students clearly had better footwork for the game, but we managed.  For a while, it seemed that the teams were even, with both teams having an equal number of Chilean students.  Eventually, the other team couldn’t handle our offensive attack.  I scored a goal, followed by a quick goal off of a head-butt by another teammate. We won the match!  After the game, I relaxed on the paradise spa and ate at the endless buffet.  This was another great Chilean day.
