Wow, way too much to potentially say about the past weekend at the beach. I thought that it was somewhat silly to be going to the beach during the winter, but we definitely lucked out with the weather conditions and I am sure that I speak for everyone of the students that the getaway most certainly exceeded my expectations. The only complaint I had was that the bureaucratic stuff such as signing up for classes, rules, ect, thought important, seemed a bit out of place to be during the limited time we had in Algarobbo. However, getting to to know the fellow student's in the program better and all the other fun activities made up for it for sure.
My quick video of the world's largest pool.
Where to start...we stayed at a very nice hotel (Hotel Pacifico) that was across the street from the beach. We had all our of meals in there as a group and the entire staff was very hospitable. The only extended time I spent in the room was to sleep because I was constantly doing things or stuck in a conference room listening for informational meetings. I got to swim in the world's largest swimming pool, let alone visit it and walk through the super mario tunnel that goes under it, took multiple swims in the ocean despite not having a bathing suit and the water being bitter cold, and it was a national holiday for fisherman the last night we had their so there was a big dance party in town. I could go on for days about the weekend and all my thoughts, but it's not necessary. The good times rolled, and I'm sure they'll keep on rolling.
