Universidad Católica del Norte

Today, I got to visit Universidad Católica del Norte.

We wanted to sit in the auditorium to use the free wifi but they were holding a networking event.

I think they had chocolate and I wanted to help myself to some but for some absurd reason everyone thought I would look too conspicuous.

So instead I got on my computer and just tried to look busy.

Later I successfully entered the auditorium because Nicholas had to give a talk.

There was no more chocolate though.

It was not my favourite day.

In the northern barrenlands of Antofagasta

This morning I went nowhere.

I mean, I actually got on a plane.  And it took me north.

But take a look at this picture and try to tell me I’m not nowhere.

antofagasta

I thought so.

Antofagasta is actually Chile’s 2nd or 3rd largest city, and the only reason for its existence is so that some people can dig big holes in the surrounding horizons of dirt.

Population: 345,420.  +2.  And a bear.

To kill time, we watched TV.  We fought over the controls.
