When we made our drive to Calama from La Serena, and passed through Copiapo, not only did I get the sense that we were entering the true desert, but the shifting colors of the rock and sand began to drive home how vast is the mineral wealth of this challenging landscape. Claim markers follow the road and recede into the horizon on each side, like wide spread gravestones…but we would hope that it is the prospect of a better life that lies below, not darkness. It seems that every family that we know in Chile, there is some connection to the mines, and I’m sure most in Chile do know someone who goes underground or works with dangerous equipment. Let’s hope that the positive emotions on the surface can be focused to support the guys below, as they have a long way to go. I personally hope that that the current pipe is large enough to provide them with enough music, wine, and love.

Viva Chile! This is an amazing country with some of the stongest and most determined people I have met. I look forward to seeing the celebration at the release of the miners!

I too was finishing up lunch in a restaurant when the news broke. The manager turned on the television and everyone stopped, stood, and moved toward the screen in disbelief and later joy.
What an emotional year this has been for Chile. Such highs, such lows, a year that will long be remembered…
Let’s hope that some break through in technology will allow them to get those guys out of there FAST!

I heard this news whilst having lunch with Lori from Wines of Chile. I could not believe it at first. Fab news. I was filled with tears

I just hope when the Hollywood movie is out, those poor 33 guys get some of the cash
