Valdivia-day 10

Hola! We worked a long day from about 8am to 8pm. At first, we dug out the old magnetometer sensor and cord. We then dug a trench at the new site for the cable. We also made good progress with the computer, network, and hardware installation. Thanasis was the champ today spending hours in the roof to route the magnetometer cable through. He had to carefully watch his step to not fall through and at the same time battle the heat, tight space, and dead mice.

After work we had dinner outside by the river and realized 2 pitchers of Kunstmann bier never tasted better. (popular beer from german influence in area)

Interesting tidbit...the Chilean government workers were on strike today over a less than expected wage hike. offices closed everywhere. we almost got stuck at the old worksite on an island because the protestors took the bridge. Good to see the natives are exercising their right to protest after many years under a dictatorship.
