Fiestas Patrias

The Fiestas Patrias are a typical parties in where, the people celebrate every year the glories of ours army (Sep. 19), and the first Government meeting (Sep. 18). But actually I think that ours celebrate the Chilean Week, with Fondas: here sell typical food, like an empanadas, choripanes, anticuchos: typical drink like chicha, terremoto, wine in all its expressions, “piscola”, etc. and also the typical typical dance: the “cumbia guachaca”, the reggeton jijijiiji, not the typical dance is “La Cueca”, not all the people know dancing this dance, but some even try to.
I remember that once, a journalist asks to the people: what it celebrates in the Fiestas Patrias? And the most people answer “The independent of Chile”, that it isn’t true.
When I was a child I remember that my father made a barbecue, with meat, chicken, pork, etc. and salads: Chilean salad, potatoes, pebre and a lot of pepper (I don’t like it). My mother made an oven empanadas (with meat, onion, eggs and black olives, ñumi : P)
With my brothers played at little balls, but I never learned to play at the Trompo, I wanted play at TEJO, but I never played. But always played with my brother and my cousins.
In those days my and my family will go to the country, but this years I’ll stay in my house, because my boyfriend got sick. Cuac.
I don’t have a favourite 18; all the years are different, but always good.
