Hola Amigos! Today was a very interesting day. The day started off with a bus ride to Universidad Tecnica Federica Santa Maria, where we had a lecture from Jose Luiz, a cool Chilean professor. His lecture to us was all about Chilean culture, and it was much more interesting than our previous lectures at the university. We went over several interesting aspects of life here in Chile, such as the education strike, Chilean art and literature, and earthquakes and their affect on Chile. After our lecture, we went to lunch in the Chilean cafeteria, but it wasn't very good, at least for me, as the empanadas they gave us were mainly filled with onions. After lunch, we left for a one and a half hour trip to visit LAN Airlines at the Chilean airport. We had a really cool Q and A with an engineer at LAN, and learned a lot about the company. After our tour of LAN and the hour and a half ride back to Viña del Mar, we had our second salsa lesson with our dance instructor, Davíd. Davíd really knew his salsa, as after only two days of classes, he had us moving and salsaing like seasoned professionals. It was a good time, and I feel like I could even teach a salsa lesson now that I've had it taught to me! After that, we split up into small groups for dinner, and then headed back to the hotel.
Planes at LAN Airlines
Hasta mañana,
Fact of the Day: Since LAN Airlines merged with TAM Airlines in 2011, it has had no competition in South American airspace.
