So, as far as we can figure it, in order to save energy the Chileans have switched to daylight savings time in the middle of winter so now we are one hour ahead of the east coast and now we leave the house when it is pitch dark. Doesn't help much with the mood in the morning.....but, without fail, the days do get longer in spring!
We are not sure what to make of the national strike but it sounds like the bus system, all government offices, the airports, taxis, and who knows what else are closed and a whole lot of marches are planned around the city. We were bracing for a cacophony of pots and pans this evening but were spared in our neighborhood (too many upper class living here?). Rob will probably stay home for work and I will brace myself for more traffic than usual - I keep muttering under my breathe how nice it will be to go back to "taco"-less South Bend!
