Day 5 - Spanish vs English

As per usual, today was pretty awesome. I'll admit, the visits today were kind of boring. It was really cool to see the cheese making process and Nestle plant, but we didn't have to spend so long at each place lol. After, we went to this Jumbo (pronounced the Spanish way) Supermercado. It was pretty much exactly like a big grocery store in the states, but with way better seafood than what we see in Ohio. :) We then went shopping at the supermarket. They had a lot of good wine. :) :) Check out the Farm To Table 2015 Chile Facebook page for more pictures. 

Nestle Plant
The bus ride back to the hotel was the most fun to date. After we finished the 1-minute rounds (basically everyone saying something about what they learned today in 1 minute or less), we had some fun competitions between the Spanish and English speaking natives. Those of us who are fluent in English made a list of words that are typically difficult to pronounce if English isn't your first language. The list included, "Anemone, Walrus, Colonel, and Worcestershire." The Chileans had some fun with that list. :) In "retaliation", they came up with a list of words we English speakers had to try. I honestly can't remember a majority of the words, but I was one of the English speakers who was called out to try saying the Spanish words. Antoinette and I impressed the Chileans with our ability to roll our R's lol. All in all, it was a lot of laughter on the bus ride home. I can honestly say the group has finally broken the ice and seems comfortable around each other. I'm excited to see what the rest of this trip brings! Tomorrow we get to visit the sea pens to see the grown salmon. We were told to bring a second set of clothes because we are going to get wet lol. We'll see how that goes tomorrow.

Abrazos y besos,
Joslyn :)
