The Kasbah Chronicles April /May2016

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...
