I'm headed to Valpo, would love suggestions
Hey, My name is Chris, I'm currently living in Austin, Texas and am headed to spend 3 weeks in South America. I've heard great things about Valpo that are consistent with your description (mainly, the intangibles are what make it great). If you have any "must-see's" around town, I'd love some bullet points! Obviously, criteria for what is a must-see can differ from person to person, but I generally enjoy adventuring, riding my bike around wandering, exploring a laid back night life scene and definitely want to experience the local fare. Thanks in advance and great pictures! -Chris

Perspectives
Thoroughly enjoy reading your reports from the Andes to the beach, the celebrations, the cakes, the friends, and...school. Was surprised by your description of the trapped miners, as though the event had been little noted by the outside world. By now you must realize that people all over the planet (myself included) were caught up in the rescue, especially the last days! A friend just e-mailed me a list of all of the specialized tools, expertise, and technology that the U.S. sent down to expedite the rescue. It included the NASA-designed (and provided) capsule, itself. We rejoiced with the Chileans when the first and last miners reached the surface. And we will be watching documentaries and hero stories, and reading scientific journal articles for months to come. And, since you were nearby, some of us thought of you many, many times. Hope your viral visitor never returns. Love, G.Jean

Splendid! Courageous!
Referring here, my dear Liz to the splendors of Chilean food you have captured on film, and to your bold ventures in eating same! Congratulations and love, G.Jean,
