Quechua class
Beautiful photos! By the way, I'd like to find out more about Nick's Quechua class. Is it one on one or in a group? How can I contact the teacher/school? Does Nick recommend it or was it only so so? Thanks for sharing about your travels! Best regards, Lina. email garzadrive-billpay@yahoo.com

Linea Aeria Nacional de chile (LAN-Chile)
LAN is latin america's largest airline and one of its best run companies. every year it wins the title of "best airline in latin america" from whoever doles out such prizes, and it has the most modern plane fleet in the hemisphere (this inclueds the US and canada). it used to be called LAN Chile, but they've changed the name to just LAN b/c now there is also LAN Peru, LAN Argentina, LAN Republica Dominicana and there are plans for LAN Brasil as soon as brazil deregulates their airline market, all controlled from Chile. in chile's last presidential election, the owner of the LAN airlines barely lost out to the current president Michelle Bachelet. i'm not some marketing rep, just a chilean geek with a love of infrastructure and developement. anyway, enjoy the rest of your time in chile and south america. cheers!

Re: naval school
Hi Patrick, Bolivia wasn't always landlocked. They used to have access to the Pacific, but they lost it to Chile during the War of the Pacific. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_the_Pacific Shortly before you left, CBC ran (a very touching and humorous) documentary about the naval school. Bolivians hope to regain access to the ocean one day, thus they keep the naval school going. For them, it's a matter of national pride. Cheers, Ilya

CUSO sounds great!
Hey Patrick! Wow! Sounds like CUSO is a great organization. I should volunteer with them someday! If I was going to volunteer, I would definatly go with CUSO. Is the website www.cuso.ca? Did I hear they have a bunch of placements open on their website? Would I go with CUSO to Latin America, Africa, Asia or the Pacific? Would I work on local economic development, environmental management, inclusive governance or HIV/AIDS projects? Sounds like your having a blast. Kristy P.S. I am not a mole. ;)

Hey Pat, Sounds like you're off to a great start. Good luck on your internship! For some reason, though, I can't see the pictures posted on this page. I'm not sure if it's just me or if there is something wrong with your formatting? Thanks and buena suerte!
