Day 3 - Science Time

The conference that we're all here to attend started today. And while the seminars were excellent, and the presentations very informative, the most important lesson that we learned today came during the breaks. And that lesson is that Chilean coffee is not nearly as strong as its norteamericano counterpart.

Not to paint too bleak of a picture, though. The talks were really great, as were the posters. And our Chilean hosts have been fanstastic.

After the conference we returned to the apartment before heading out to a guidbook-recommended dinner at one of Pablo Neruda (Nobel laureate poet de Chile)'s old haunts. Galindo was amazing, and any previous concerns about Chilean food that were brought on by other people's comments were put to rest.

All in all, a great day. Time for a good night's sleep now.

More pictures are up, too.
