Fiestas Patrias... My Favourite Season

I like this date. It’s my favourite month, season, etc. Fiestas Patrias means a lot of things for me; happiness, party, share, etc. It’s the anniversary of the first national council of government, but it’s an excuse to celebrate the first step for a repulican life. We have two holidays, the 18th and 19th September. These days we do a lot of things, we play typical games, like flying a kite, rayuela, and a greased pole, etc. Also, we eat typical foods, overall, barbecue and empanadas. And we drink a lot of things, but the most typical that we drink are chicha and red wine, but if you want to do all these things, you must go out to “fondas” in O’Higgins Park. When I was a child, I lived with my uncles, aunts and my grandparents in a big house and we eat a big barbecue for all the family. Nowadays, we still meeting us, to eat a big barbecue, maybe we will meet in my house. My favourite 18th… maybe was the last 18th, because I went out to Curacavi with my family, and we eat and drink a lot of things. Also, I went out to my grandparent’s house and also we eat a big barbecue… but before of these dates I was celebrate the Fiestas Patrias in the “Fonda FAU”, where I danced and drunk too much…
