Viña Indómita and Pablo's house

Today was an exciting day in Chile that started off by us going to Viña Indómita winery. It was so beautiful and the tour was very informative. They took us around the winery and showed us where they make and store the wine. They store they wine in big, wooden barrels for two years and then immediately bottle and export them. After the tour of the winery, we went outside to taste a few of the different wines. There was one white wine and two red wines. They were all pretty good, but my favorite was the last one which has a chocolate and leather taste. Brendan and I liked it so much that we decided to buy a bottle.



After the winery, we took the bus to another one of Pablo Neruda's houses which is right on the water and has an amazing restaurant. We ate at restaurant, which overlooks the water, for lunch and had oysters, fish stew, and tiramisu. Everything was delicious and so fresh! We enjoyed our lunch in the sunshine and then made our way over to Pablo's home for a tour. His house was so adorable and had the most beautiful views. After the tour, we walked down to the beach and took pictures on the rocks. 



Later today, we went back to the university for our last dancing lesson. We learned so many fun dances and started burning up a sweat. The instructor was very sweet again and said that he saw a lot of improvement in our dancing.
Tomorrow's our free day. I'm excited to sleep in a little and explore more of Vina del Mar.
