I forgot your question about the weather in Chile. I am sending you now a web site with the temperatures The web site is : http://weather.msn.com/region.aspx?wealocations=Chile

As you know,the seasons here are opposite to America and Europe, so next winter you can come to the south, forget the cold and enjoy the sun and the beaches. Right now we are in Autumn, close the winter, and the temperatures in the capital, Santiago, go from 8 to 19 ºC. Here we usually to feel an important variation from the early morning and nights till the midday.(this happen still in the summer time)
