Today the graduate student of my collaborator in Santiago came to Valparaíso for a conference. He texted me and we met for lunch in Valparaíso near the conference building. Neither of us knowing the area, but having chatted with him about Peruvian food on Mon when we visited in Santiago, we found a nearby Peruvian restaurant called Mishky Perú. Peruvian food is probably the most popular food in Chile--arguably more popular than Chilean food. Laura and I haven't been to a Peruvian restaurant yet, so I figured now was the time.
It was nice to be with a Chilean native to get the low down on which dishes were good to try. In the end, we both went with a kind of "sampler" plate that had small portions of 3 popular Peruvian dishes:
It was all really tasty and I had no reason to eat dinner this evening because of such a large lunch.

Other than going to Valparaíso, I did a run this morning along the beach path. The weather was much better today. And, I worked on learning some more statistics. I'm trying to learn a bit about variance and confidence intervals in advance of what I think will be a messy algebraic calculation.

The ocean is still agitated this evening. Big waves over the past 24 hours have battered the beach.
And the sunset has returned. Quite beautiful this evening:
