What is your motivation for coming to Chile and Valparaiso?
I decided to go to Chile because I heard it's a very nice country. But I have also a more important reason. I have a great grandmother who was born here in Valparaiso in 1846. Luisa Salazar called or Salazal and married my grandfather in Chile. Then they moved to San Francisco in the United States where my grandfather died very young. Luisa After he moved to New York with her two sons to live with the family of her husband, she died also very young in 1902. Now I'm looking at several churches in documents that could help me find my relatives!
What are your impressions of Valparaiso? Valparaiso
My impressions are very good. But not first. When I arrived here I have visited many places in nature and if I compare the southern mountains and lakes with the City of lparaíso the city is a bit dirty, old and unsafe. So first I did not like the city, but
after walking through the streets of Cerro Alegre and Cerro Concepcion, I loved this side. And most of the cafes and streets like people in Valparaiso. The people are very nice, very warm and everyone wants to help me with my búsqueda.
¿Cómo ves a EEUU desde Chile?
Desde Chile tengo una perspectiva diferente de los Estados Unidos. Antes de llegar aquí no estuve de acuerdo con la guerra y ahora cuando veo mi país y nuestro presidente por los ojos de los Chilenos es más difícil entender la razón por qué estamos matando miles de personas en Iraq. La verdad es que soy orgullosa de ser de los Estados Unidos pero hoy es un vergüenza debido a la guerra. Creo que Estados Unidos es un país con mucho potencial para ayudar al mundo y arreglar la situación en Iraq, pero necesitamos un nuevo presidente!
