The Lure of Chile

Pablo Retamal and I have been talking about Chile. He is the director of Tourism, based out of Washington, and he sent me a CD with Chilean music, and many images of the country showing vast expanses of desert, steep ski slopes, vineyards, bikini-clad gals, more mountains, flyfishermen and glasses of fine wine. I am traveling to Chile in the fall, and this neat CD has whetted my appetite for the exotic lure of South America.

Most of us seasoned travelers are always itching for a new place...a place where you might find something really different. Really new. Not sure if Chile will be this place, but that's the fun, finding out just what is there. Here is the website, visitchile.org.
