Hi everyone those who read this.

Today I’m going to write about to my Fiestas Patrias experience this year, To Start i took a bus in the morning on Friday, September 12^th to Concepcion, the city when I was born, I arrived the same day in the evening. When I arrived my family was preparing for go to the city outskirts, we went to Buchupureo to spend the week until the Sunday, September 21st.

The September 18^th we went to the my Aunt’s house in Buchupureo and she with my mother prepared some tasty empanadas of seafood and meal, I helped to prepare the dough of the empanadas and that’s was we ate to the  lunch. In the night we went to the Fonda located in the beach and I had a drink some of Chicha (the typical drink in this special time), also I danced Cueca in the Fonda, I don’t remember who it, because I drank lots of Chicha, but was really fun.

The Next Day (19^th) I woke up to late, around to the 2:00 P.M with a headache y drank some of water and was going to lunch. In this day I walked for the beach in the evening and took some photos, after with my family we went to hang out to the Ayekan Restaurant and we drank something.

I returned to Concepcion the September 21^st  in the morning, I spend the afternoon in Concepcion and I arrived to Santiago on Monday, September 22^nd  around to the 7:00 P.M.

My Fiestas Patrias

Hi Everyone !

Well my Fiestas Patrias are generally common, with too much typical food like an “empanadas”, “anticuchos”,” sopaipillas”, etc. and with our typical drink called “Mote con Huesillo”. Usually every year I am going to the “fondas” located in the center of my hometown, Concepcion or sometimes I get together with my friends and organized some activities about to the 18 de September like the last year.

In the last Fiestas Patrias (2013) I travelled to the Concepcion and I met with some friends, we bought some things for cooking a barbecue in the Carlos home, one of my friends. After we went to center of Concepcion for dancing Cueca (Typical Chilean Dance).

So…  The best Fiestas Patrias I can remember was in 2011 when we joined as a family and went to Buchupuereo, this is a rural place nearest at Cauquenes, is a beautiful place and remember that travel because was the first time we were joined as a family.

In the fiestas patrias also practiced some typical activities like a rayuela, horse-racing, fly a kite, that’s activities are really healthy and fun, however there an activity I do not agree, this activity is the Rodeo, I really hate this “Sport” because is an animal abuse, people hitting animals for entertainment is a great shame, the government should ban this activity, the animal abuse is not cultural.

Well we can see the fiestas patrias is one a most important date for the Chilean people we celebrate the first Governing Board and is one the best moments for share with the loved ones.
