The Fiestas Patrias.

The fiestas patrias are a special days for me, because not only mean the first the first joint national of government, also because is the only date in the year were every Chileans are units in the same consign. A typical Chilean on this day dance “cueca” the traditional dance in Chile, eat “empanadas and anticuchos” very cooked on this dates, and also many people go to visit to the loved peoples.
When I was a child I played with a trompo and watched the horse racing on Negrete, a little town to thirty kilometers south of Los Angeles, in the eighth region, there live my grandmother and still I go to visit when have an important date.
Nowadays I’m with my girlfriend in my home or in her home, sometime we go to visit some friends for drink and eat with their, sometime we dance but to she don’t like because she don’t know dance very well.
My favourite 18 was when I was 22 years, Two years ago, I went to Negrete with my family and my girlfriend, at that time we ate several roasts on my grandmother's house and on the banks of the river which is near of the her home, and all the men who were there present played football and we drank beers, was incredible.
