Maybe it won't work out. But maybe seeing if it does will be the best adventure ever.

What a marvelous job the Chilean people have done at Temuco!

It wasn't many years ago that the international call went out to save the facilities there. That the effort was successful and the result is so spectacular is a great credit to all those involved. I hope to see it for myself.


Sincerely,
Glenn

If anyone has seen the movie "The Motorcycle Diaries" about Che, there is a scene shot in the pre restoration Temuco railyard.
