Between interviews and personal outings, Chile Charlie learns about the towns he visits while roaming the small communities. By meeting people there, he's able to tell what makes each area special. With a knack for getting people to tell him about the history, culture, and economy of each are, Chile Charlie paints an image for the reader.
