I’ve always been proud of my ability to pack light.  I have literally (old definition, not this nonsense) traveled around the world with only a carry-on bag.  I never use luggage carts and avoid porters at all costs.  My bags are my problem and if I can’t manage them all, I brought too much.  This […]

If you climb to the top of San Cristóbal Hill in Santiago, Chile (one of many San Cristóbal’s on the continent of South America), you will surely observe every vendor selling Mote con Huesillos.
