Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Esperanza Waits Above (Chilean miners)
Breezy, Fenix is what the capsule was called - it was spelled so on its side. I am keeping the Chilean spelling, as indeed the pronunciation of Chile (not "chilly" but "Chileh").
Kevin, my daughter who speaks spanish (and has lived in Chile 3 months) in dicates that the conflation "La - e..." is rare and "inelegant"... It wouldn't have helped me in any case, I'd be missing a beat in the metre...
