Today we made the long drive from Santiago to La Serena. It is about 300 miles away and it took us about 6 hours. We took Marina's 1990 Toyota truck or as we affectionately called it 'el trucko.' It is definitely a no frills truck. No AC, no radio, the passenger front seat is permantly reclined, nothing automatic, and no insulation so the inside was defening from the engine and car noises. It is truly a tank. The same day we got hit by a taxi on the side and there was only scratches while the taxi had a dent.
The drive reminded me of the drive from Vegas to LA. Leaving Santiago there were still trees, but they gradually turned to cacti and the grass browned driving north.
