This morning, we had a lecture on the fishing industry and then we took a tour to see the forestry plants. We were dropped off and a bus picked us up to take us on the tour, then we got out to look at the enormous nursery they have for the beginning plants which are planted for the man-made plantations. It was extremely hot though so it was hard to pay attention... We came back home and Ify and I were picked up by Jorge, our host brother. He took us to the grocery store where we bought flowers for his Mom as well as some Nestle Manjar (caramel spread) that we fell in love with when it was served for breakfast at our house. When we got home, we surprised her and Yoyi (Yolanda's nickname) with the flowers, a book of Ohio, some giant Hershey chocolate bars, and a big jar candle. We took pictures, and then had an amazing dinner of beef strips marinated in wine and mashed potatoes out of a box, which reminded me of home. Jorge and I went outside and played with their dogs, one of which is giant and the other is small and hyper. I hated saying goodbye to them the next day!
Later on that night, we went to a club that was only a block away. I was excited and ready to be out, but I had one Pisco Sour (the most popular Chilean drink) and the sourness was too much. After a few hours, I was bored and like most of the rest of the Cincy group, the smoke was really getting to me. I tried to ignore it, tried to dance, but when 3:00 rolled around I just asked Yoyi to walk me home. I was glad to be in bed then.
