Oh thank you!!! :-)) I am happy, I loved that family high above Santiago. Will dig out another photo where you see the city in the background. Thank you again Sebastián.

No, please don't delete it, the picture is beautiful! :) I was trying to make it clear so nobody was confused by thinking meerkats where found in Chile.
