'Chile'. What pops into your mind first? Some people may think of wine, others of hot peppers, and yet others of that cold feeling under snowy skies. It's a word and country that can certainly conjur up a lot of images. For me I will always think of my first week in South America, the most modern hostel I have ever visited, and life in the driest desert in the world. And good wine. My plane... Read Full Entry

Here begins the adventure of 12 months solo racing and chilling out around the world. Africa-Asia-New Zealand-South and North America from May 05-May06. It really is racing, 24 countries in all!

cafe con piernas
first, i'm glad you enjoyed your time in chile. second, my grandmother lives in the same building your hostel was in, el portal fernandez concha. third, that cafe in your picture really isn't a cafe con piernas. if i'm not mistaken, it's one of the many "cafe haiti" around downtown, which is a pretty standard male-oriented coffee shop. the cafe's with legs are actually in tinted windows and the servers usually only wear a swimsuit/bikini or lingerie, not just short shirts like these lovely ladies in the picture. i've enjoyed your travels very much. hope you keep travelling.
