Viña San Pedro Viña San Pedro (VSP) was the third largest winery in Chile, with 1998 sales of 37 billion Chilean pesos (CP). Bonifacio Correa had planted the original vines with French stock in 1865 on the farm in Molina that the family had owned since 1701. For years, VSP wines enjoyed a reputation of being one of the finest in the country, and the vineyard remained in the Correa family until 1941. New owners expanded the vineyard so that by 1994, 1,150 hectares1 were in production, making it the
“I shall never forget the impression which our first landing on the beach of California made upon me,” Richard Henry Dana fondly recalls in his book, ‘Two Years Before The Mast” (60). In 1834 Dana, a nineteen-year-old law student, set sail from Boston to California, by way of Cape Corn. When Dana set sail on the Pilgrim he could have never conceptualized that which he would encounter nor could the Spaniards and Indians foresee the ramifications of his journey to their coast.

live in a small city that is known as the “Heart of the Harbor”, Wilmington. According to "Early Views of San Pedro and Wilmington", Phineas Banning procured the 640 acres of land that would get to be Wilmington. The 21-mile railroad was built in the late 1860’s by Banning and the new railroad drastically decreased the cost of transporting goods to and from San Pedro ("Early Views of San Pedro and Wilmington"). Without Banning’s vision and tenacity, the City of Los Angeles the way everybody knows
Today, November 16, 2016, my perspective altered drastically. The hot humid air of Honduras made my skin sticky and my hair damp. The sun beat down on me as if I sat in an inescapable sauna. Houses made of tin and cinder blocks flew past us as the police escorted us to the clinic. 10 minutes later my dad and I reached the clinic and gratefully exited the bus and rushed inside. “Ahhhhh...air conditioning! What a blessing!” I thought. We expected 10-15 patients to come to our dental chair to get their
Before I begin to talk about my personal calling, allow me to share some wisdom I heard at my first SEND Conference in the Fall of 2014. Christians make such a major ordeal of “their call”. In churches across the country, people ask others “what’s your call” or use a lack of a “Macedonian Call” as an excuse to not be evangelistic. I came to Holmes with that mindset. I knew I was “called” to missions. I had gone to Honduras in September 2011. Before that, I had heard Isaiah 6:8 while Steve Harrelson
Right now I have millions of ideas and plans for my future in my mind. When my teacher said the essay was about ¨What I Will Do With My Life? ¨ I had a feeling of chills that covered my whole body. Really there are so many plans in my mind that I don´t know from were to start. I´m just looking for a happy life, it doesn´t need to be perfect. The first important moment of my life is to graduate. I know that my grades are not so good, and that I have been failing on doing several stuff, but all that
before. Nevertheless, I was going to Belize! Our school organized a trip of which seniors, who were a part of the Environmental Science course, could go on an eight-day adventure in the vast jungles of Belize and explore the party island itself – San Pedro. While the other four students (five total including myself) had trouble departing the school along with their loved ones, there was me who was impatiently waiting and eagerly ready to go. I mean come on, it was just eight days in a foreign country
played! Another element in the socio-economic factor is for many young men, it is the only road to success; either make it in baseball or go work in the mills. This is a drive which pushes them even harder to become exceptional baseball players. San Pedro De Marcoris, a costal city of the Republic which is the center of sugar production, is the only region in the world that has enough local talent to form a Major League baseball team. Most of the people of this sugar mill concentration are Colocos

Looking at the endless vines that surrounded him, he wondered how those newly planted grapes would find a market. Chile, the world’s 10th-largest wine producer, had enjoyed
