Two students from my class this morning took me home with them to Rancagua. What's in Rancagua? Nothing. Apart from an oversized (10' diameter maybe?) chupayo--which is a fancy word for a straw hat. It's on display in the cultural center if you want to see it. Don't worry--no rush. It'll probably be there for another decade.
But, no, they (the folks who took me) are really nice. Chile, according to Chileans, is famous for its warm reception of foreigners.They genuinely just wanted to take me to their city so they could walk me around the town and tell me all about the history of the place. It was one of the first cities to be colonized in Chile, as I understand it. So that's something.
I have to admit, it's nice to get away from the big, noisy, busy, dirty city for a bit. But...Even in this big, noisy, busy, dirty city, I'm getting almost slightly maybe a little tiny bit bored.
