I couldn’t keep from laughing and enjoying Thomas Baker’s account of learning to live in Chile. As much as it is entertaining, it’s educational. Having traveled around the world myself, I know all too well the trouble you can get into not knowing the local customs and the nuances of the language.This is a memorable story, one that I won’t soon forget. After reading it, I find myself wishing to experience Chile firsthand. Baker’s knack for writing is exceptional, placing the reader right into the story.I am going to suggest this book to my friends that are planning on going to Chile, yeah, like I said, an educational read that offers not only Baker’s experiences in adjusting to the local environment but an insightful look into the ways and customs of Chile.Now, with that said, I am going to our local wine warehouse and ask about this “El Gato Negro” wine that Thomas raves about. I gotta get me some, even if it comes in a box, hehe.Seriously, this is one fine book, well written, excellent story and most of all, entertaining and educational, it just doesn’t get any better than this. I do believe that our Mr. Baker has set the bar high with this endeavor. I am looking forward to his next installment.
