Today was an excellent day! We woke up and went horseback riding. It was probably the nicest day of the whole trip as far as weather goes. It was absolutely perfect! First everyone got a horse, mine's name was Hipe. Since I've ridden a horse before, it wasn't scary for me at all, it was just a nice reminder of my childhood. So we started riding, and it was certainly an interesting trail. We began on the beach. It was absolutely incredible. The view from where we were could see the entire bay of Vina del Mar. We then went through the sand for awhile away from the beach and at one point all you could see was sandy hills around you no matter where you looked. We stopped to have some pineapple and water. The pineapple was so incredibly sweet; it didn’t even taste like fruit. We then rode back on the beach, and we even got up pretty quick in speed. Honestly, this blog post can never be an accurate portrayal of how gorgeous it was to be on the back of a horse on the beach looking at a view that goes on for miles and miles. It was certainly a once in a lifetime experience. When we arrived back at the ranch, there had been a barbeque prepared for us. It was incredible, with sausage, chicken and steak prepared fresh on a fire grill. It was delicious, and for once there was extremely good vegetables. After we returned to the hotel, we decided that it was too nice to stay indoors. A large group of us went and got gelato and sat near the ocean. It was a very relaxing, amazing day.
