1. Not surprising. It's a lovely country that has all the

topographical features anyone could desire, from the Andean mountains to the Caribbean beaches and the Amazon jungle. It's inhabited by lively, energetic and welcoming people who like Americans and who are famous for an impressive sense of humor. Very well worth visiting.

2. probably the most interesting country in South America culturally in addition to the vast

natural beauty. Cheverito would be impressed.

3. Couldn't agree more.

BTW, did we ever hold the appropriate funeral for Cheverito? He died a sad, lonely unlamented death.
