you guys have had a wonderful trip thus far. i'm very jealous. just wanted to say a few things about your chile trip so far. the strange statue you pictured in the plaza de armas is supposed to represent the broken or disfigured identity of chile's native peoples. the picture towards la serena of a tower is of chile's larges mosque. chile has the largest palestinian community outside the middle east--numbering about 300.000-- and there's even a 1st division soccer team named Palestino, but 85% of palestinians are christians. you'll find plenty of chicken buses north of chile, don't worry. enjoy the rest of your trip. cheers!
