Rolly the Clown helped me hitch a ride to the mine.
I found myself in La Serena, Chile yesterday, less than five hours from the site of the rescue. As I started thinking about my proximity to Big News, I found myself unable to resist a jaunt up here. Circumstances cooperated. The woman in the boarding house where I was staying has a sister here who was able to find me a room in a town glutted by press from all over the world.
