Questions 610 refer to the following e-mail.

From: Jackie
To: Barb
Subject: Hello!

Hi, Barb
s

A big hello from Chile! My sister and I arrived last

Sunday, and were having an amazing time. On Monday, we
took a tour of Santiago. Its a beautiful city, and we
saw a lot of it. At the end of the day, we climbed San
Cristobal Hill and had an incredible view of the city. On
Tuesday, we went to Isla Negra. Isla Negra means black
island, but its not an island at all. Its famous because
the wonderful Chilean poet Pablo Neruda lived there.
His house is now a museum, and its very interesting.
On Wednesday, we flew to Calama (a little scary!) and
then drove to the town of San Pedro de Atacama. In the
afternoon, we went to Moon Valley and watched the sunset.
The next day, we saw the Atacama Salt Lake in the desert.

We got back to Santiago yesterday, and were going to spend

the weekend here before our flight back to Chicago tomorrow.
Were tired, but we had a terrific trip. Unfortunately, we
didnt have time to go to Easter Island, to Punta Arenas,
or to Puerto Montt. We didnt see the Torres del Paine
National Park either. The next time, well definitely stay
longer so that we can see more of Chile. A week isnt long
enough!

See you soon,
