Steve's post about the absence of "Keep Chile Clean" signs took me
right back to that long but thrilling drive from Santiago in southern
Chile all the way up the Pan American highway to Antofagasta -- the
gateway to the Atacama.

Geoff,

Great post, but I must correct you one on thing: Santiago is in the MIDDLE
of Chile, not in southern Chile. It only SEEMS like it is in the southern
part with the 24 hours of driving it takes to get north to Antofagasta.

Many people don't realize that the "little" country of Chile is as long as
L.A. is from New York. And starting at Santiago is like flying into St. Louis
and then driving there rest of the way into Tucson. Getting to San Pedro de
Atacama is like going on to Tombstone, AZ.

Speaking of Tucson and culture, it is about that time again when people from
virtually every culture on the planet converge to barter another years worth
of goods.

I can hardly wait!
