Our Chilean Excursion

Our delegates in Chile have just returned from a wonderful 2-day excursion to Pomaire, Valle Rosario, Matetric. Isla Negra and Quisco. It was fantastic! The first stop on the tour was Pomaire, a typical pottery village where the girls tried to throw the wheel. They played with clay in one of the most unique artisan homes of the village. They then enjoyed a typical Chilean lunch including "empanadas" and  coca-cola light.   After lunch, the group went to the Casablanca valley, a beautiful organic vineyard and eco-tourism park. They spent the night there in " indomos" a first world tent with an igloo design. 
On Day 2, the students had a tour of the Matetic valley where they took pictures with alpacas. Afterward, they drove to Isla Negra to visit Pablo Neruda's beach house - a truly awesome experience!
