I don’t think I’m ever coming home. I can give you the “Cook” report and let you know we finally actually ran something (the auxiliary oil pump), but who wants those details?
I ate empanadas, which was foreign food and yet still very good. Like a Hot Pockets if they were made with care.
6 days into the mission they finally got me somethig like a proper table instead of the ersatz stepstool I was using. No, they didn’t buy a folding table, they had some carpenters hand-craft one for me. I don’t think it will fit in my luggage, or I’d take it home with me.
The weather is nice and the ocean and girls are beautiful. Being near the sea keeps the temperatures, while hot, manageable.
Hot sand, ocean breezes, beautiful women.......but then again there is a little girl who is missing a tooth and a Daddy at home. Good luck figuring that one out. LOL
I am glad you are managing to enjoy your banishment to Chile.....enjoy your reprieve from the cold.
do your chilean counterparts speak english well? who are you hanging with? are you speaking any spanish?
empanadas are one of the national dishes of chile, glad you are experiencing some of the culture. i continue to be J ; )
Is there any way you can bring the family over there or is it way too expensive? I think I recall your comment on how pricey your ticket was to travel.
