(I know--it sounds repetitive to me as well.) But it is true. I rode down to Castro, Chiloe with Sebastian and Felipe. It is a six hour drive to Castro, then we drove a couple more hours of driving each day, to find good hunting roads along the island. Basically, a week of a lot of time in the car.
Unfortunately, Felipe had a limited number of CDs. I thought I was never going to recover after listening to Felipe's favorite, Pink Floyd: Dark Side of the Moon for 5 hours. straight. Felipe then put in an "American favorite": Bee Gees. I can handle the Bee Gees, I thought. Disco Fever. However, after the fourth straight listen, I was barely staying alive. But then Felipe decided to put in Los Trios, a Chilean group, and the guys sung along to these songs for a couple of hours. As I was dying a slow and painful death, all I could think was "put the Bee Gees back in...please". That is when Felipe really surprised me. "What is this we have here? Romantic Songs CD? Who put that there?" He put it in and we were then serenaded by these 90's stake dance cheesey love songs for a couple more hours. gag. haha. another gag.
Needless to say, the first thing I did when I got back to Valdivia, was plug in my computer and head straight to itunes. Happiness is listening to whatever music you want...[content sigh].

Maybe your hunt would have been more successful if you had listened to Kermit the Frog singing "The Rainbow Connection" or "It's Not Easy Being Green".
