Fiestas Patrias
So today, the 18th of September is Chile's birthday. Chileans celebrate this by having a lots of parties and eating lots and lots of Chilean food, drinking Chilean wine and dancing chilean dances. There is no school today because it's a national holiday, but we had a celebration at school earlier in the week. I took some pictures of some of my students all dressed up in special Chilean clothes and I learned how to dance (horribly) the national chilean dance, la cueca. The students also presented songs and dances, and I videotaped a little.
