Chile Travel Report Sunday in the Park with Claudia |
|
|
Sunday afternoon in Copiapo's plaza, a large gathering of motorcycles for a rally. Competition (who can go the slowest along a track), companionship (numerous clubs) |
 |
|
|
So catching a little of the local color, I ask to photograph some of the Ruteros |
 |
|
|
Then they ask to photograph me |
 |
|
|
Then they induct me |
 |
|
|
Always on the lookout for new talent, I ask a young woman if I can photograph her
Meet Claudia |
 |
|
|
Whereupon she asks if I'd like a ride on this trike. Of course I respectfully decline Like hell! |
 |
|
|
So under the gaze of an impressive bunch of spectators, we're off |
 |
|
|
And for the next 10 minutes we tour Copiapo in style |
 |
|
|
Arriving back at the plaza, Claudia's father, José, invited me to join his family for an authentic Chilean lunch Again, I'm gonna say no? Not hardly |
 |
|
|
José, wife Palusa, Claudia, father José, mother Olga, Marie Olga, Camilla Had a lovely lunch, swam in the pool, actually conversed in Spanish Authentic Chilean hospitality Wonderful family |
