Back from Chile ...
Following the good example of "Chileno", it's time I began my own blog. I've been a journaler in Livejournal for over 5 years but it's time to try something new - and perhaps reprint selected posts in this Blogger format. I'll have to learn how to use the tools in here - but you know what they say about 'old dogs' and 'new tricks'.
I've just returned from a three-week trip to wonderful Chile ... my 24th trip there - but my first in the past six years. It was my son Peter's birthday-gift to me for my 70th birthday! Sandra and my younger son, Geoffrey, had been with me on previous occasions - but Peter was doing grad-school in France and 'careering' in New York City during the late 80's and through the 90's when I was in Chile. So, this time, the deal was that I was to show him 'my Santiago' for his first visit. He was with me for the first eight days and I stayed on for the next two weeks - touching old bases and treasured friends.
It will take a few more days for me to gather all my thoughts and feelings before I can find the words to express my reactions to a wonderful time. May 2007 will be long remembered.
