I thought Chile was a warm country. I never imagined it got cold there at all.
That's interesting about no heat in the houses.
I've never heard of that.
So Chile actually gets cold? And people don't have heat? That's sounds so strange. What do they do in the winter?
Well, it's a warm country in the summer lol. It gets very cold in the winter (though nothing like over at the US). Countries like Peru don't really get cold in the winter, but we're more to the South and there's the Los Andes mountain chain all through the country, so I'm thinking that makes it colder?.
I've never had heat in any house I've lived in. Only rich people do I think lol, mainly in apartments. In winter you just use a stove.
Some years ago I lived in the South, and the house we rented was SO cold in the Winter... the wind came in from everywhere, you could actually feel it if you put your hand in front of the plugs on the walls. In the afternoons/nights you just coulnd't be anywhere but in front of the fireplace. It was a beautiful house though, and it was on top of a hill, it had just a breathtakingly beautiful, panoramic view.
Thanks for explaining that. It's so interesting to learn from others, rather than a book. Since that's the way it is I'm sure it's just normal. I thought all of the South American countries were warm. Geography was not one of my better subjects. It's also cool to spend so much time in front of a fireplace. We had a fireplace once and it gave off a lot of heat. The whole family would gather there and talk and laugh and have a great time.
I am going to buy me an artificial log to replicate that.
Enjoyed your post.
