It is a foggy July day on the deserted coastline of Peru. Carine and I are standing by the ocean but can’t see the waves, the fog is so thick. The rugged grey landscape turns almost ghostly when the sky, earth and ocean blend into one colorless entity. “Chile is much better than this place, I can tell you that!” I did not see my interlocutor until his silhouette emerged from the fog a few feet away from me. “The waves are more consistent and the landscape more appealing, that is without mentioning the quality of the wine” he said in a grin. I will find out later that Felipe is an architect who, like all the Chileans we will meet later on, has an unconditional love for his country and a contagious enthusiasm to share it.
