15 centimeters of white covers the ground in the town of Chaiten, Chile and white stuff keeps falling from the sky. It’s not a fall snowstorm in the 10th region of Chile but ash from the Chaiten Volcano that erupted on Thursday after being quiet for thousands of years.
What has followed has been the ground shaking beneath the feet of residents of Chaiten and nearby Futuleufu and Chana. Gas, food, and drinking water have been hard to come by for those who didn’t or couldn’t evacuate. Those that did leave their homes did so by boat to Puerto Montt, a city north of the area or by going east to Argentina. This area is fairly isolated and not easy to get to or from by car.
Copa Sudamericana Brings President Bachelet to Estadio Nacional

Chilean Presidenta Michelle Bachelet didn’t go to Augusto Pinochet’s funeral but yesterday she did witness another loss in Santiago’s Estadio Nacional, where many were detained after the 1973 military coup. Mexico’s oldest soccer clube, Pachuca came from behind to beat my favorite team, Chile’s Colo Colo 2-1 and win the Copa Sudamericana.
Pachuca, Mexico’s oldest club, silenced a 60,000 crowd at the Estadio Nacional as they won the final 3-2 on aggregate to become the first Mexican team to win a South American club competition.
I think more Chilenos were torn up about Colo’s loss than the loss of Pinochet.
