On the northern coast of Chile sought a quiet place, no foreigners, no special things to see. Where you can bathe, where I saw forced out to immortalize feelings with the camera. Distracted and not looking to update my blog. I got everything except soaking. 
Caldera / Bahia Inglesa are two distinctly tourist resorts and in some foreign country that is the way clueless. These days the streets are dressed in shorts (daytime) beach bags, young twentysomethings inner cities near and families with three or four middle children play and swim in icy waters, although they say they are the most temperate coastal. At night the square and surrounding streets are a hive of attractions for children.
Caldera was famous in his day, mid-nineteenth century, being the first in Latin America with rail, as always in Chile to carry some ore port in the interior. Today is a simple village dedicated to fishing, oyster farming and summer tourism. 
Bathing in Chile heroes thing I tried twice both Caldera and in the nearby town of Bahía Inglesa. Impossible, the water was freezing cold, just wet my ankles, I went and lay down to sunbathe. Chileans dived however, especially children who seem covered with a indoor heating. The temperature did not exceed 18 degrees, to me, well, not paying me I get in the water, taking into account also that I've been 5 months in tropical waters. To tell you that when I was farther south, in Valparaíso and went to the beach and I tried, but the natives themselves.
The austral summer is not the same, another roll is different from European I've been in this land the equivalent of our August. It has nothing to do, the summer is determined by the Humboldt Current , with cold waters from the Antarctic and leading to what is the border between Peru and Ecuador and that cause hot days, chilly nights in everything that is the coast, with constant cold winds in general, with the sun becomes unbearable ..
The Atacama desert, a long narrow strip The harder, drier world, says there are areas where it has not rained in the last 4,000 years. The length of the Atacama Desert is about 600 km, only in Chile, arid land traversed only by the magnificent Chilean roads. When you walk in it surprises you, you da morbo see, I was impressed by the amazing ways that shape the landscape, but after a few days you get bored and want to run out, hundreds of miles by rocky areas, it misses the green, moisture
Why does not rain in this desert? really the answer is very simple: the Humboldt current brings cold water so that the sun, the heat does not get enough evaporation to form clouds and rain, only when there is the phenomenon Child, with warmer waters from the South, there is evaporation, heavy rains and disaster is also the Andean Cordillera equally impossible for the existing clouds in the Amazon flow through the mountain
Ballots here, ballots over there No matter what you buy, whether a water bottle or a pack of gum, you take a cup (cup) in a nightclub, have an obligation to give you a ticket, proof of payment, which is not necessarily a receipt. Although they say no, do not need it force you to take it. The consequences of not giving it to you may be very serious, an army of inspectors roam the country and asked to exit the business if you bought something and if so where is the ballot, not having it can mean the closure of the business.
and Patricia Albor, a hand and a Chilean All this was explained to me and Patricia Albor, marriage rentals Santiago Caldera, with whom I shared a day of culinary Chilean-oysters, sea urchins fish-rich, we spent the day eating and talking. He is Chilean English passport, his father was Aragonese fled Spain after the English Civil War, via France. Just listen to music and Labordeta skill. It's in the soul, though he tried to live there and did not find it. Today is dedicated to the import of Chilean products for Hospitality, since locks until covered, and is doing very well. Patricia, however is 100% Chilean "?, And has the skin tone that characterizes those who have ever been mixed with the native population, she barely spoke except when I went into talk of love. So they, romantic, passionate.
