Arrived at La Serena and quickly realised there was something missing ... people !! OK so it was Palm Sunday but for a largish town it seemed a little strange. Walking into the main square it became obvious what was happening. Every TV shop in town had at least 30 people gathered round the window watching the footie. Colo Colo (the local club) were playing Universad De Chile and everywhere a TV could be found people were watching the big match. The weird thing was that it was like being outside a stadium with the match going on inside because despite the lack of people the local equivilant of "you´re sh*t and you know you" was ringing out from every street corner. For the record book Colo Colo won 3-1 and that evening there were a lot of happy people.
