What a morning in Puerto Montt for #ibmcsc Chile. Bright and Sunny after all these days. These days are rare in this part where it rains almost every day during this season. It was only during the later part of the day we got to know that if its Sunny, expect Polar winds to come from South (read Antarctica) and bring chill factor with them. This inspite of Andes on one side.
As we see the sun rise, people would expect to see a nice and beautiful sunset over Pacific from western coast of America, but Puerto Montt is one of those places where the sea gets inwards through straits and channels and city does not face the west. If we face the sea here, we end up facing the south that is towards Patagonia, the cold glaciers of the region. Puerto Montt happens to be one of the last places with good road connectivity in south of Chile. The further south we go, land has more glacier cover and lesser roads and less main land, more islands with ferries to go across. Another way is to get into Patagonia region of Argentina and then enter back into the area of Chile needed.
Now, back to office in morning, we had our meeting on work done yesterday and plan for the day. In the same we agreed for a slot to ensure we and client have a common objective on the project goals, so that deliverable can be refined before our next meeting with the board of Chamber. This meeting was good and we ended with a common understand of what is expected. Next steps are being worked on and there is lot to be done. We need to split the work amongst us, ensuring no duplication to be able to deliver the maximum. All this while ensuring all effort is connected synchronized and everyone is in loop.
Between all this, for lunch we decided to try a quick food pickup from a close-by super store, but even this was not as fast as expected, but no doubt better than yesterday. On the way we passed through some nice neighborhood with nice view of the hills around (which get shunted by clouds on most days.)
In evening we had a followup team discussion on what to do for the weekend. Few items were ruled out, either due to cost or extended time needed and looks like this weekend will be Chiloe amongst the Penguins and if we are lucky the Blue Whales. Most folks had got some light meal to eat while discussing, but post that 3 of us Colin, David and myself went for a dinner at a local bar. This had a good meal for me and compensated for the packed food we got earlier in the day.
