Brent tries a pisco sour at a "solar restaurant" on Friday. This restaurant cooks everything (rice, chicken, goat, bread, etc...) on solar ovens. The woman who owned the restaurant demonstrated to us that you can put a piece of newspaper on one of the racks and in less than a minute, it bursts into flames. That sun is HOT. We couldn't quite translate what they do on a cloudy day, but we did enjoy watching them literally go out and move the kitchen as the shadows changed and their ovens weren't in the sun anymore. Apparently somebody is in charge of tracking the sun each day and keeping the ovens in the optimal position. It was wonderful to see this place making a great living using the power of the sun and zero fossil fuels!! Go Chile!
