. 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!
