 I've
been twice in the country of Pablo Neruda, fishing and riding along the Ruta
Cinco. Apart from the spectacular environment (desert and ice, ocean and
Cordillera), apart from the historical events and the cultural blendings, I'm in
love with the particular mood of Chileans, always balanced between the shame and
pride of being southamericans. I drew these sketches in
Rio Puelo, others will follow (see also
First Five Years) |

|
01 |
 VOLCAN
YATES, a geographic introduction and two links for your holidays:
www.termasdesotomo.cl
and
www.turismoriopuelo.cl (jpeg, 49k). |

|
02 |
 WATER
TANK, in an extravagant combination of materials (jpeg, 43k). |
| |
|
03 |
 TODO
TERRENO, I drove with Firestone tires and got four consecutive flats. It came
out that the product had been retreated from US market due to it's imperfections,
and sold to southamericans (jpeg, 66k). |

04 |
 CHOLOS,
urban motorbikers defy the Naturaleza driving mechanical monsters. A van follows,
loaded with beer cans (jpeg, 66k). |
| |
|
05 |
 YOU
CAN FIX IT ALL, you just need steel wire and a plier. Appropriate term is "alhambre
americano" (jpeg, 108k). |
| |
|
06 |
 YATES+PIG,
driving by the swollen volcano, the apparition of a pig guardian struggling with
his reluctant pet came straight from another era (jpeg, 95k). |
| |
|
07 |
 AERIAL,
raising high over the roof, it witnesses the effort to keep in touch with the
rest of the world (jpeg, 57k). |
