Dinner

The Taxi driver who took me from the airport to the Observatory dorm was fishing for more work, asking me if I needed to be taken for dinner. I told him yes, and asked to be picked up at 6. Upon being informed that restaurants in Chile open at 7:30 we compromised at 7. He drive me the 10 miles or so to a restaurant on a beach. I'm in La Serena, which is one of the provincial capitals. Very near by is the port town of Coquimbo, which also has a reputation of being the towns with the discos and where you go to have a good time. The restaurant the taxi driver took me too seems to be on the border of La Serena and Coquimbo. It has a very nice view of the pacific, and I took a few pictures of the full moon and of the sites that I don't know if they will come out. I had slightly more trouble with the menu than I had been having, but I did get a chicken and cheese crepe dish which was tasty without being the best meal in my life, but I'll call that a win. Once again the bread served before a meal was to die for. I had two Pisco sours, and I'm now doing the mating call of the sorority girl "I'm so drunk". I had my picture taken a few times by an effervescent drunk. He stayed about 15 feet away, and wasn't in my personal space, and said "Gracias" after every time he took a picture, so I figured it hurt nothing to not be offended. He was also drinking Chivas on the rocks, so I figured he had way more money than I do, and in situations like that, Let the Wookie Win.

Well, Sierra and King still love me. At least untill I run out of food.

Careful, there. You might end up talking about painting ceilings beige and all sorts of college things.

That's more like it!
I'm sorry you are bored out there.

Being bored taking data is far better than being borded while clouded out.

This is very true.

We finally got rain last night/today. Yay for rain! (CK and I did a bunch of gardening yesterday, so timing is perfect.)
