Michele and Don - yikes! Glad you are here after all the ordeal. La Serena sounds like a great choice. I{ll bring the map & let you know what some of the choices are for excursions.
Suzie - doh! I spent an hour in town and forgot the cards altogether. Can I blame it on altitude? Thanks for the reminder. I agree - train travel again with Haagen Dazs at the helm would be fantastico with our fellow ROARers.
Cheers, Anne
