Biden May Visit Chile

From the Santiago Times in English:

"U.S. Vice-President Joseph Biden is expected to travel to Chile in late March to participate in Progressive Leaders Summit in Viña del Mar from March 27-28. Joining him will be the British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Spain’s Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, Germany’s Angela Merkel, Uruguay’s Tabaré Vázquez, Argentina’s Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, Brazil’s Lula da Silva, and Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd. Zapatero is considered a global pioneer in summit meetings for progressive governments."

I'll have to keep my eyes open and do a little politician stalking! Haha. It seems we are at the center of the world here in Viña/Valpo. A friend of mine claims to have seen Prince Charles yesterday on the street near our university...but then, he is an imaginative sort and there is no telling how much of it he might be making up. For example, I'm relatively certain that he did not actually drink a pisco sour with the monarch as he so vehemently asserted :)
