Chile

Flew to DFW from CID, then Santiago and Concepcion. The flight from DFW to Santiago was about 9.5 hrs. Sitting down in an airplane seat for that long is a real accomplishment. Spent a few hours in Santiago airport andadjusted my watch to Santiago's time. I saw books of Roberto Ampuero and Alberto Fuguet in the airport libraries.
Met my old friends Carlos and David Seigler. Drove to Talca where we had a wonderful meeting at the Universidad de Talca. Made some new friendships and learned a few things. They had a couple of cultural events and a great banquet where the young people danced like crazy. Visited their Jardin Botanico and took many pictures of their plants.
