Hola, Doug,

    Ai! I forgot the most important part --- The Piscos!!

    Does this mean I owe you a Pisco Sour?

Hi David, Bob and Jan, List,

David - There has been a cold war going on down there to define who has
rights to market alcoholic drinks called "Pisco" (If you don't think this is
important - very seriously-, think again!!!), and the fight for control
portions of the sea between Peru and Chile is still ablating. It isn't the
village that is of interest. It is the fight for land and sea, and national
pride. The land of the Desaguadero River where the fall is, is near the
outlet to the ocean that Chile appropriated in war victory against
Bolivia/Peru and I suspect that unofficial military activities are common in
that zone, as well as a state of alert on both sides, and also that there is
an underlying fear from this. As outsiders from this conflict, the best we
can imagine...

Jan - As you say (most of us including you could) think before we post, too,
though I don't object to your post either. The very few prior comments you
have made seem very educated, so I really wonder, why hadn't you said
anything throughout the barrage of bashing of people, corruption and the
"filth" there, and now not expect that this impression is prevalent and
accepted by a lot of list members? This is an exotic and majestic area to
visit, though lacking in hygene by the cultural standards of many outsiders.
The list has been fixated on the negative and a meteoric attention span.
Why don't you ask what Bob Haag about his recent vacation in the wonderful
area, he probably has seen enough in his life to give a different
perspective on their hygene and culture.

Bob W. - David off the list? Eighty-six that possee!

Best wishes and health,
Doug

Aborigines don't own the land.They belong to it. It's like their mother. See
those rocks? Been standing there for 600 million years. Still be there when
you and I are gone. So arguing over who owns them is like two fleas arguing
over who owns the dog they live on.
