Attention Citizens of France and Chile!

Do you know the saying "Don't work for your money. Make your money work for you?" It's kind of silly. But true. Well, I though about it. Why not make our blog work a little?

Now, you ask: What the heck does this have to do with the title of this post? Be patient friend, amigo, ami.

For French People:

Seine River

Before I ask your help: I know it may be a bit presumptious to assume that people from France actually read our blog, since...well.....not many people read our blog. I know of at least one: our friend Guillaume. So for example, if I have a question about France, maybe Guillaume can contact his friends Maurice, Remy, and Colette. One of them may be able to help. This, mon ami, is the power of the Internet. The above example is fictitious. I just chose some French first names. I don't know if Guillaume, who is a real person, has friends with the names above (fake people).

Le Rasion: My parents will celebrate their 45 wedding anniversary next year. On that exact day, they will board a River Cruise in Paris and travel the Seine to reach Le Havre.

Comment excitant, right?

So, maybe you are familiar with some of the stops on their itinerary (click to view). Maybe you, as a citizen of France, may see one of the places my parents will visit and say:

Mon dieu, my uncle Jean Luc lives in Rouen. He tells me often of a small store where they sell excellent fromage! The store is run by an angry old man named Benoit who will spit at you unless you look at him with one eye only. It is pure Magic!

Basically, what I am asking for, Dear Habitantes Du France, is advice that I can pass along to my parents. Vincent can vouch for my parents as they are good folk who hold no prejudices against your people! So, please post your comments. I am interested in your thoughts.

For People who live in CHILE or Chileans.

Frutillar Chile

Valle Del Elqui, Chile

My mother, sister and brother will all be travelling to Chile (again for my Mom) this December. My mother is having trouble to decide from two places to visit: La Serena or The Lake Region.

La Serena:

Pros: Close to Santiago, nice beach area, nicer weather, close to Valle Del Elqui where they make Pisco and the location of Gabriel Mistral's home/museum.

Cons: Maybe not as interesting as the Lake Region.

Lake Region:

Pros: Beautiful lakes, including Lago De Todo De Los Santos. Frutillar (small German-looking village). Valdivia, which is an aweseome city on a River. Puerto Montt -aweseome fishing city/village.

Cons: Weather not as nice. Far from Santiago. Colder.

I am leaning towards La Serena but would like to know your thoughts. Please feel free to comment.

Make the blog work, Citizens of Earth....!
