double company visit day

You would think that waking up every morning at around 8 o clock would get you in a routine and you would be able to function. Well we are almost done our stay here in Chile and every morning is still a struggle. Thankfully we had a long bus ride to Hela where I ended up being able to lay down and use my backpack as a pillow. We got to Hela and it was a lot bigger than I expected. We were able to watch how each prodcut was made from the brochas to the raspadores. The machinery was very high-tech and very German as pointed out by Christian. We even got to wear these cool loocking protective glasses and ear buds to block out the noise. To be honest Stefan and I kept getting distracted by the ear buds and kept playing with them when we had free time. After we had to give the glasses back, we hopped back on the bus and headed to Centauro where we were able to taste test their canned peaches, canned pear shaped tomatos, tomato paste, and squash puree. All of it was surprisingly good and tasted delicious. They are going to be making fruit juices and some vegetable juices in the next year to try to expand their product list. I personally think they will succeed in their markets. After the company visits and some empanadas, we headed to the university for the last time for a new type of dance. It was called Cueca (again the spelling is probably not right). It took a while to getting used to but it seemed very fancy and we were told it is a very old dance specific to Chile, even more specifically an actual region. Now we are at the best hotel in the history of the world, we were actually given towels today, and it is time for a nap.
