During the 80's I worked quite a bit in South America. Uruguay Paraguay, Ecuador, Argentina and some in Chile. I was amazed many many times to be cruising thru the back country and suddenly come across a small village that looked liked it should be in the Tyrolean Alps. Signs in German and everything. I asked very few questions. I just enjoyed the beer and schnitzel. This occurred all of the mentioned countries.
Heh, the Americas are interesting.
