OT: Telling the family--about retirement

[Guest guest]

Off topic

Manfred,

I checked out the pictures of your beautiful paradise. When I saw the

pictures of the volcano I thought, this is from Chile. It happens

that I went to Chile in 1953 with my parents who were missionaries,

and eventually married a Chilean in Santiago. We did not stay long

after that, though, as we moved to Sao o, Brazil, where we lived

for the following 35 years. But how did you chose that beautiful spot

there in La Serena? Are you originally from Chile? The pictures are

spectacular! We were in Temuco at one time, but it was in the winter

and terribly dreadful. My husband's birthplace was Loncoche, which I

never had the privilege of visiting. Two siblings of my husband still

live in the Santiago area and it just happens that one of my sons is

visiting them this very week. I know all this is not related to PA,

but if you would care to share anything else related to that

beautiful country, you can email me direct.
