If you're going to Algarrobo, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair

This weekend 13 of us made our way to the tranquil beach town of Algarrobo. We rented Cabanas a five minute walk for the beach for super** cheap, ate some delicious home-cooked meals, tanned (or in my case burned really badly) and enjoyed eachother's company. It was a really relaxing weekend and I was excited to get out of the hustle and bustle and smog and noise of Santiago.

Wildflowers grew everywhere- on the streets, sidewalks, boardwalks. Most of the trash cans were surrounded by bushes of these flowers which was so pretty. Here was something so ugly being engulfed and overrun by something so beautiful. As hinted the title, a few of these flowers ended up as hair-decor.

My favorite part of the trip was when all 13 of us read a short story out-loud. We popcorned the book around and it was wonderful. I've met some incredible people through this program and I was so happy to spend time with such an amazing bunch at the beach.

A picture speaks a thousand words so here's the weekend slideshow. Enjoy!

**The word "Super" is used all the time in Chile, in the same sense that we would use it in English. That show was super long. He is super boring. etc. etc. Something about the word in Spanish though is absolutely hilarious..and fortunately people use it ALL THE TIME. Ella es super linda. Es super carro. Que te vayas super bien. I don't know what makes it so funny to hear but everytime one of use overhears the super superlative used before anything, we crack up.

That was a horrible description. Maybe it would be funnier if you just imagine a business men talking about stock and using the word Super in a heavy, spanish accent. Believe me, it's pretty damn hilarious.
