Today we got working putting the new magnetometer in. We made good progress until we realized we were sent the wrong magnetometer. It is for U.S. 120V power and not Chilean 250V power. We're working on coming up with an unique solution to this problem.
Tonight we had a delicious BBQ dinner with ribs, bratwurst, potatoes, Chilean wine, and homemade bread! I met Paul, an American world traveler who is from New York. He told me he was working here for a couple weeks. 2 years ago he rode his bike from NY to the bottom of Chile and sold it. The new owner, Aleco, is a Chilean and works for the airline company who flies from Punta Arenas to Antarctica. He asked Paul if he wanted to come down for a little bit and help him with the airlines.
Paul told me this was the best meal he's had. He has lived on mac and cheese, cookies, and salami the last week. I gave him a shocked look after he told me this and then he responded with "youve been eating good, right?" I eventually told him we had private cooks and tons of food everyday and he told me he needed to come over for dinner.
Me and mi amigo, Edwardo
