Comodoro Rivadavia
Chile 2023
Today is a real day of rest.
We spent half the day at home, and after lunch we went to the Oil Museum.
The damage on the windshield got even worse, a big crack appeared.
Serzhyk thinks it’s because the car was parked in the sun.
I’m going to write to the company where we rented the car.
Serzhyk wants to know in advance how much it will cost us.
A crack in the glass. And the entrance to our house.
The museum was built on the site where oil was discovered here in 1907.
Legend has it that they were looking for water and found oil.
But the information board in the museum says that this is not true.
They were indeed looking for oil. They just wanted it to be kept secret (from the USA).
Some of the exhibits are located outdoors.

Inside the museum there is a cool drilling rig simulator — a small room where it shakes really, really hard.
