"Fiestas Patrias"

Hi everyone:

This week I`ll tell you about what I did during this Fiestas Patrias. Like a good chilean boy I went to each tipical "fonda" in every place that I found, for example I went to the celebration in Maipu, there was the "Sonora de Tommy Rey" with his "cumbias", I love it, because the music is very cheer and every party begin and finish with this music. Also there I danced some tipical "Cuecas" and others not so common but very exciting,"La Cueca Chora" by Roberto Parra, a great musician from my country. I went there with some friends and in the next day with my girlfriend. I ate many "empanadas" and I drank many wine, I liked so much, because is a tipical drink here and is very delicious. At the september 18th I went with my family to the "Fondas" in the "Parque O`Higgins", it was so funny because you can see there many typical personages around this parties like the drunk old man dancing with a "china" a very funny "cueca", singing to his country and fighting with everyone and without a reason. Then on september 19th, I just go with my family to my grandmother`s house for eat more empanadas, and roasted beef with some cousins from Concepcion and play some tipical games with them. Thats all I think, it was very funny to me at less.

Bye
