Work took me back to Copiapo this week (1 hour flight north of Santiago). Eduardo, Mauricio, Mike and I headed up the mountain to visit one of our projects and do some field training. Here they are resting up for our two hour drive up the mountain to the man camp.
Literally up the mountain...
And up the mountain some more....
And a some more....
Until we arrived at the man camp. Nice rooms!
Then another 40 minute drive to the Construction office. They had the first big snow the weekend before, so I was scared we were going to slide off the side of the road and never been seen again.
It was awesome to see the scenery and get to experience what it is like to live and work on a mining project...but man is it tough...not sure I could hack it! Here's a pic of Mauricio and I on the flight back home...happy to finally have coca cola.
On Saturday I hung out with the Santistebans and we hit up the feria (farmer's market) at Los Dominicos. Tons of variety and everything is so cheap!
This lady was super excited to sell Ethel this cucumber....lol!

This guy was awesome...he kept giving us samples.
I finally found out what these things (pepinos) taste like....kinda like cantaloupe!

They also sell a big variety of sea food at the feria.
Nice relaxing weekend!

Ciao!
Great update Lindsay, keep them coming!
