Tuesday, February 10I know I have reported on this a million times already, but my brother booked his ticket from Boston to Santiago today and is officially making the trip down to Puerto Varas. I couldn’t be more excited about this news.
After a day of following-up on yesterday’s meetings, Lily and I met her friend Natalia for a beer at her office. Natalia is 28 and runs an event planning business. Her office is directly above a restaurant on the lake shore and we sat enjoying the sunset over some beers. We met her friend Rodrigo and discussed the endless possibilities for business and entrepreneurial ventures in Chile. We set up plans to start and English conversation group to be held during the week at Rodrigo’s restaurant in the city center. It will be a great way for us to make some extra cash and teach English in a comfortable setting. I can see this being a great side project. We also discussed the endless untapped potential with the lake & watersports, as well as the lack of tourist infrastructure. These are all things to think about and hopefully capitalize on during my time down here.
We walked home as the sun was setting to prepare a meal of sausage, peppers, and onions Fenway Park style. They turned out perfectly, and we both went to bed with visions of opportunity in Chile.
Chile Trivia: Because the thickness of the ozone layer increases and decreases steadily, Punta Arenas operates on a light system in which a red light indicates almost no ozone protection, an orange light indicating a dangerously thin ozone layer, a yellow light indicating when the ozone is thinner than normal, and a green light indicating normal ozone protection.
