Day 13 - A week at work

Last week, we didn't really do much so I will just summarize the week (from Monday to Friday). Every day we went into work. But we didn't walk very much because my dad had a sore toe and couldn't walk. Instead we took an Uber taxi to work most days. My dad has the Uber app on his phone so when we are about to leave our apartment, he calls an Uber. The Uber driver meets us outside our hotel and then they drive us to work.

For lunch we have been getting sandwiches from the really nice sandwich place right next to ESO. We aren't allowed to eat in our office so we eat in the kitchen or on the sun deck depending on how hot it is. There is a water cooler in the kitchen with super cold water and it's really nice on a hot day.

On Wednesday, we got given our own office to work in, so we are finally out of the guest office. Leah and I hang out in the library a lot though. On Friday, ESO had a science day (even though pretty much everyday for the people here is a science day). In the science day, they had people giving talks about themselves, their science and their hobbies (with just 3 slides) and they were each about 5 minutes long. 

At lunch-time ESO had a barbecue and we went to it. It started with an alcoholic drink called Pisco sour, or water, and standing up and talking to people. A bit later they brought round snacks and finger food. Then we sat down and had the real meal. They brought round multiple different food and you grabbed what you wanted. The first food was blood sausage and it was really crumbly. The second food they brought round was a regular sausage and the last thing was steak. After that they had desert, which was carrot cake, my favorite part of the cake was the icing.
