Thanks you, thank you, thank you. Machos, machos gracias.
Your translation is excellent. I understand what she was saying. Yes, fart
is accurate.
I sponsored a trip for her to our house in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
We had a wonderful time !! We always laugh and laugh and she is beautiful
inside and out.
We haven't seen each other in several years, so she wrote me this letter.
Yes, my family went through some very difficult, traumatic experiences. No
I
wish that I
would have had this translated earlier. It was a private letter, so I
could
not ask my wife to translate it.
Could you please tell my why it was difficult to translate ?? Was it
because
it was handwritten and I had to use a
scanner to scan the wrinkled letter. Was it that or was it the language ??
Regardless, I cannot thank you enough. I am humbled guanaco by your
kindness
of taking the time to do this for a
stranger. I don't know if you live in Chile, but my experiences from
visiting Chile are the best memories of my life.
I really fell in love with the country and of course the people. The
generosity and caring. I also found a love and commitment
to family that has been lost here in the United States.
I have been in Santiago, where the family is, but since I grew up in new
York City, to me being in Santiago was just like being
in another big city. When we spent some time in the south, stayed in ****te
Mont in the summer, I really fell in love with the people and
the country. I took several trips around the south as well.
I also loved being in Vina and the beaches.
I always felt like they were seeing a "gringo", who came a long way and
was
married to a Chilean. As a person who came a long way to
visit Chile, it seemed liked I was being treated, by strangers, as a
honored
guest and these people wanted to make sure that I had a good time
and got to see places that they liked and were proud of. I have had cab
drivers go totally of their way to show me some area that he thought I
would
enjoy.
Another cab driver, from ****to Mont, who we wound up hiring for several
days, became like part of the family.
The owners of some apartments that we stayed in, wanted my wife and I to
go
to an area that was beautiful, but to have us go without our
children so we could enjoy this as a couple. So the owner and daughter,
volunteered to watch my two boys, while we spent the day alone.
They refused to take any money from me and I know that they were not rich
people at all.
I have many more stories that were wonderful as well.
To be in a place that had the mountains, like the mountains that surround
me
in Colorado, BUT, also with the lakes and the ocean and being
a lot more green than it is in Colorado, I thought I was in the most
beautiful place on earth.
Thank you so much.
I am assuming that you can read my English and that it would be a lot
easier
because it is typed.
