We said goodbye to Jasmine and Daniele. We spent or converted our last pesos. We enjoyed a last cafe con leche or cerveca. We all boarded the plane (I think…).
See you from Atlanta!

Everyone showed up on time. We had a very smooth drive through Santiago to the airport, very little traffic to deal with today. Returning the rental cars went much quicker than checking them out, but still slower than one would think is needed. Now to check-in, and some last minute shopping.
As one of our last stops in Chile, Adam, Antonio, and I enjoyed lunch Martin and Fernando from the University of Chile geology department. It was great catching up with Martin, who is a UM alum, receiveing his PhD from our department in 2007. Martin is now a professor at the University of Chile working in economic geology.
With our free time this morning, those of us who got up, visited the Museum of Memory and Human Rights. For some the events documented by the exhibits were times and news stories of which we have memories. For others it brings to life important events in human history from school lessons.
Chile makes a lot of things out of copper. Even the handrails in Chile’s subway system are copper.
