Los Angeles

No...we are not in California. But we are in Los Angeles, Chile. Jorge from Hortifruit, one company Nate is visiting, picked us up from Young's apartment Tuesday morning. We then drove about 3.5 hours south to this city. We stopped at a processing facility and spent several hours at the plant.

People definitely move at a slower pace here. Dinner time is typically aound 8 or 9 pm. It was just so strange leaving for dinner at 8:45 and returning at 11! We went to a very small restaurant to eat and it had the most delicious food. I think I had the best salmon I had ever had! Seafood is typical here. You know...Chile is a pretty big coastal country! :)

So it sounds like we may not be going to Argentina. However, I am actually not overally disappointed about that. Jorge said that is would not be worth visiting the facility there since it is about 900 km north of the airport and they aren't running much right now. It would have been a LOT of driving and not much else. So instead, it sounds like we may spend the weekend at the beach. Bummer, huh?
