Day 4: Off to LAN Airlines

After a relaxing evening of blog writing we woke up at 7 to go to our next lecture

and we received steel toed boots that we needed for a company visit they were so
uncomfortable. This time the lecture was on Chilean culture and it was very
interesting. We learned all about history, education, politics, geography, and how the
natural disasters have affected not only just Chile but the surrounding areas. We
learned about their latest disaster which occurred in February 27, 2010 and it
changed the lives of many it was very scary to learn that some of the high ways we
drove in on were completely destroyed two years ago but after those two years Chile
has come together as a country and is progressing quickly to repair the damages. The
teacher was very exciting and knowledgeable. 

After class we ate an interesting
to say the least lunch in the cafeteria and then we were off to our first company
visit at LAN airlines two hours away in Santiago and of course all of us are
sleeping the entire way. We arrived and met one of the men who worked there and he
took us through his website and showed us the numerous airplanes they have and their
newest project a brand new HUGE airplane that is coming out in October. It was very
engineering oriented after seeing a few airplanes and not needing our steel toed
boots. 


We left again taking a nap and made our way to our last salsa class. Not many
of us were awake enough but once we got moving it was a lot of fun. We learned
turning steps with a partner it was tough but very fun my partner sadly wasn't the
teacher again haha after dance class it was time to go out with the Chileans we went
to a four story club and it was sooo much fun also because they played English music
after a late night it was time for bed another lecture and company visit tomorrow ;)
