A day with one javier...but no water

This day was by far the best day that we have had so far on our Chile trip. We all woke up to the hotel not having any running water. We could not use the showers or the sinks to do any of the usual things such as showering and washing our faces and shaving, but hey we all somehow managed to do the best we could and it certainly gave us all some stories to tell. We all then went on our tour bus  to Vina Indomita, which had all the vines of the grapes in the front of the building. Once we were in there we all got to see the tanks that they used to make the different wines, both red and white wines, but each had a seperate process. The whole place did smell of very rich wine which was a little overbearing at first but then we came accustomed to it. We then went to the cellar to see the barrels of wine they had aging. Depending on the wine and the type of wine they were makiing, each wine is set in the barrel for a certain amount of time, ranging from half a year to 2 years. After a few glasses of wine (which as Evan said was "Devine") we were all able to tell the differences between the wines and what is in the different types of wine. We then went on the bus to Pablo Neruda's house for a tour of and had lunch seaside. Everything there was absolutely delicious. We had mussels for an appetizer, some type of fish for our entree, and picocada (don't quote me on that one) and the whole lunch with the sound of the waves from the ocean topped off the day. We were even able to pet our first dog, since all of the other ones we have met ont eh trip were strays and it just wasn't a good idea. But this dog, we named him spike, was a black laborador that was rougly 2 years old. He loved running around us just so we would pet him. I don't think he was used to all the attention. Now we are heading back to the hotel and hopefully be able to nap and shower.
