Friday afternoon the UPS delivery brought two large boxes that, as I anticipated, included my contractually stipulated 50 copies of the new third edition of Moon Chile. Just in time for the upcoming southern hemisphere travel season, it’s fully updated, particularly with respect to the Chilean wine country, the latest in hotels and restaurants, and even the ins-and-outs of visiting volcano-ravaged Chaitén.
In recognition of the new edition, I’m offering a contest that, I hope and expect, will soon have TWO winners. That’s because I’m giving away free copies of the book to the first two correct answers to following quiz, which I think is a fairly easy two part question: 1) What is the destination depicted on the cover of the new edition; 2) what is the common name of the animal that appears within the photograph?
Please send your answers to the following email address: southerncone [at] mac [dot] com. Winners will be notified via email.
