Racing Report Leg #2 AS
apskip:
MSWOOD, there is one major problem in your report and you already cited disbelief when you wrote it. The money for the leg was either $48 or $49, depending onwhich team you believe as a source. $487 would be absurb given what they needed to spend it on(one taxi from Quito airport to Plaza San Francisco, the $10 entrance fee to Cotopaxi National Park, a few snacks in Miami airport). The money is carefully calculated by the Amazing Race designers and they want the teams to have no more and no less than is necessary. They do not want to encourage more "leading taxi" opportunities on film.
Your spelling of Calama is perfect.
POSTSCRIPT
It is clear from later postings that I am talking about a different leg(episode #1). I was confused (not the first time and hardly the last) and my entire comments above are about episode #1 when they should have been about episode #2. My apologies, MSWOOD.

Yeah, I know. I wish I watched it with closed captioning.
Charla & Mirna in video's where Mirna is crying talks about how she paid the cab $200. So it possible that it was $287. Since they spent all their money from the previous leg. I am hoping some one else was able to hear more clearly.
Its mentioned by both Oswald & Danny and David & Mary. I could see it actually being 187, or 287. But I here 487 every time.
I just checked TWOP and thats also what a poster there heard.
Now in previous seasons the producers have given high amoutns on one leg, and practically nothing in another (when they did have expenses), so it might be a way of testing how well they save.
For expenses they had 24 miles of cab fare in Santiago going from the airport to the El cenrro district to locate Codelco.
They also had the cab ride in Calama to the Copper mie (I haven't looked up how fare that was). And of ocurse a little is always provided for food & water. So yeah, I imagine that even 187 is a lot of money.
