[Introduction to Contents]
I reread my father's thoughts and opinions about Latin America and the Caribbean, summarize what I have seen and heard, and write his view of Latin America and the Caribbean in the form of a letter sent to my father in heaven.
My father does not appear in his everyday life in elementary and junior high school.
The reason is simple.
It is because my father spent too many years in Chile in Latin America.
I can't help asking about the meaning of this "lost eight years" that cast a shadow on my relationship with my father.
My father's job was a mining geological engineer who did research on resources such as copper and steel stones.
In this book, I try to understand why my parents and children were forced to live apart for such a long time, why my father had to go to Chile on the other side of the earth, what kind of place Chile is, and how my father lived there.
The site is Atacama Desert in northern Chile.
This is a very different place from the capital Santiago where the clear blue sky is impressive.
In the harsh environment, I came up with many descriptions that make me think that I was a geologist or naturalist.
