Highways in Chile

[Stephane Dumas]

There is a lot of German heritage in the Americas, not only the United States (largest descendant group), but also in countries like Brazil, Paraguay or Chile. In Brazil they have city names like Blumenau or Novo Hamburgo.

I've read Ruta 5 is impassable on several locations. It's the main artery of Chile.

there also a lots of German immigrants who come to Argentina http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Argentine

They have Renault Clio's in Chile. I've never seen Renault's in North America.

AMC used to market some part-Renault/part-AMC models in the US during the 1980s.  That was the last known appearance of Renault vehicles in the US or Canada I know of.

Those pictures remind me of the Cypress Viaduct ones from the Bay Area in 1989.

Was this in Santiago or Concepcion? The damage photos?

anyone know how the rebuilding of the collapsed freeways is coming along?  I may visit Chile sometime in the next several months if I can swing it financially.
