[OSList] Viva Chile!

Dear Juan Luis, I arrived in Santiago close to midnight. From the moment I
stepped off the Copa plane (first time in South America, first time on that
airline), the spirit of Chilean welcome was everywhere. Going through
customs/immigration a breeze, so courteous, so easy. Getting a cab was like
nothing I had experienced before. People were so service-oriented and before
I knew it I was being whisked away. Driving to the hotel, I am struck by how
neat and tidy everything seems. It is dark, little traffic, the trucks are
sweeping and cleaning the roads. No papers and trash on the streets, no
blaring commercial signs that I see in so many other places. Admittedly, it
was only a 15 minute drive. I am quickly greeted at my hotel by two
people. No chance to carry my luggage. As it is being delivered to my
room, I smile as the porter warns me (through sign language as I don't speak
Spanish) to be careful of my personal belongings and to hold them close.
How could I even guess anything negative based on this warm welcome. The
hotel is perfect (only here one night), local art and architecture
everywhere, simple, and absolutely wonderful. I feel the peace and calm
after a crazy time (also wonderful) in Rome.
A short note from Harrison. He is here also and we'll be having breakfast.
Then off to WOonOS Chile and Olmué about an hour away. Meeting friends,
breathing it all in and wishing the next 4 to 5 days will last forever.
There is important work to do, important conversations to have, the time we
have been waiting for is here and the *popping *I hear is more like
champagne (nothing too pricey) signaling new beginnings, new life economy,
new collaborations and many new opportunities to be opening space.
Thank you Chile and all our Open Space South American friends. Can't wait to
meet you all as well as getting and giving hugs to my other pals from far
away places who are here.
Suzanne, sharing the spirit of these first moments on Chile soil (and it
ain't moving...)
