More Chilean adventures I did it! Behind me, Volcan Osorno I wasn’t quite done with a report of my trip to Chile in March. I hit the ground running soon after my return, yet “Northern Patagonia” and “Atacama Desert” still sound so exotic that I can hardly believe I...

OOOPS: I had first written in my April Enewsletter that my presentation at the Cardiff Library would take place on April 21, 2015 ( I sent out a second message with the correct date.) Two, sharp-eyed readers caught the error. It is on THURSDAY May 21, at...
