Valparaíso

Emma, Marco and Ed

A productive first day in Chile. We spent most of it with Prof Marco Cisternas of the Catholic University of Valparaíso. He's provided a lot of useful insights into the sites that we will be visiting over the next few weeks.

Pleasingly the School of Marine Sciences smelt of the sea; however, lunch looked distinctly like chicken! Marco's office looks straight out over the bay, though you'll have to squint to see it in the photo.

We're now heading south on the overnight bus to Valdivia for the start of the fieldwork. Thanks to Ulises at Camila 109 (where we stayed last night) for helping us navigate Chilean bus ticket booking.
